Comparing Trulicity vs Victoza

For Diabetes, Type 2 I was waiting long time (a year ) until I started using trulicity pen, why? I was scared after reading many reviews about side effects. But when metformin was not effective and I had constantly UTI which meant antibiotics, I didn't have a choice. I wish I had started it earlier. I have no side effects ! The shot is not painful and easy to do, no diarrhea, no mood changes, no vomits, no stomach pain, no gases. Yes, I have a little less appetite,especially in the morning, a little less visits in bathroom for number twos ( but I have at least one movement), a little nausea sometime but nothing bothering, even not noticeable. Each person react differently, usually bad reviews are from people with strong negative reaction on medication, that is why I am writing this review. Maybe somebody who really needs this medication will not be scared to try it as I was. I gave less stars, because lowest dose didn't lower my morning sugar level, maybe more side effects will come with higher dose which I need to try.

For Diabetes, Type 2 Took first shot in doctors office 2 weeks ago 75mg and started feeling a little unwell that nite next day extreme nausea, belching, just sick. Finally subsided nite before second shot.Took second shot helps with bringing numbers down though. Side effects of fullness - you have to hydrate and eat smaller meals..hope this helps someone..it does get better O hope Took third shot.. experienced bad nausea and vomiting,

For Diabetes, Type 2 I have been on victoza for several years and it has worked wonderfully for my type 2 diabetes, I've had no side effects. My problem is this... A year ago my prescription insurance changed and I now reach a donut hole which the amount I pay for victoza is approx. With my insurance it is $145 for a 90 day supply, then in the donut hole it raises to close to $600.00 for a 90 day supply which I cannot afford. My question is this... how can victoza charge so much for their drug and expect people to remain taking it?

For Diabetes, Type 2 I started Victoza on 6/24 at .06 and the side effects were minimal. Little bloated feeling; nausea but never vomited. Then one week later increased to 1.2 then that's when the side effects got more intense; 'egg burps', diarrhea, gas, but no vomiting. Not much of an appetite and glad to say I've lost 14 lbs and BG is 109 in a.m. and highest I've seen after eating 2 hr reading 140. These are very good readings for me as I've never seen my a.m readings that low. Last Dr visit my A1C read was 7.5 Just going to stick with this regime of Victoza and see what my A1C read will be come Sept ...wish you all the best if you chose this RX
