[QUOTE="picklebean, post: 320363, member: 38236"] I've found that anything on the 'rich' side, whatever food group it is, is a bit of a no-no. It was my birthday this week and I'd normally be able to factor in a few bits of birthday cake into my daily diet, with a little extra insulin, but I couldn't handle it at all now that I'm on the victoza. As for me, I had a review with my nurse and she was ecstatic with my progress..... like, really ecstatic. She couldn't stop grinning at me and she said I'd made her week! I started the victoza back in July and I'm on the 1.2 dose. After two whole months of absolute hell (really!!), my side-effects have finally lessened to a manageable level and I've lost nearly 2 STONE!! I can't bellieve it really. I know I need to work at it now to keep going with losing weight after the initial weight-loss honeymoon, but it is so encouraging to be able to actually see the effects. My insulin requirements have come down a lot and apart from the odd emergency issue with having a severe hypo and not being able to eat anything without vomiting, it's all grand. :D Yay for victoza and yay for my GP agreeing to prescribe it for me!! Good luck all those who've recently started on Victoza - if you can manage to stick it out, it will almost certainly be worth it!! [/QUOTE]
