For Type 2 Diabetes "I've been on Victoza for about 2 months and been a diabetic for over 20 years. I take 2 oral diabetes medications, and Victoza is a miracle drug. I lost ten pounds in two weeks! My A1c has always been 10 and 11. I can’t wait to go to the doctor. I was sick for a whole week, couldn’t get out of bed after the first week of doses at 1.8 in the early morning! But now 1.2 in the evening, no sickness, and I can eat a little instead of not eating at all. I don’t exercise because of my work schedule, but I’m eating better."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Have been taking for about a week and a half. Have had nausea and stomachache the whole time. Got very sick one day, think I ate too much. Weight was 195 when starting, haven't checked since starting. Just moved to 1.2, will see how it goes with my blood sugar. Has not changed, around 200, and on the very sick day was 340. I am hoping it will start to drop. Have tried every medicine out there for type 2, and nothing has worked. Do not want to go on insulin. Medicine like metformin has brought my blood sugar down, but it makes me very sick. Hope to give good news down the road, time will tell."

For Weight Loss (Obesity/Overweight) "I’m taking Victoza. I was fine until I went up to 1.8, and it made me sick. I had all the side effects on the list. I didn’t lose weight, but was sick as a dog. Does anybody else feel like me?"
