Comparing Trulicity vs Victoza

For Diabetes, Type 2 My A1C was 10+ and now according to docs is "right about where we want to see it" at 6.4 but let me tell you.... this stuff says it may help you lose weight? I know exactly where my weight has gone - down the toilet. My injections, I do on Mondays. This week all day/night Monday, horrible gas, bloating and abdominal pain. Tuesday/Wed a little better. Thurs omg... I ate spaghetti last night and was in the bathroom most of the day today with 100% water coming out. Honestly, the side effects for me are starting to be not worth it. I plan to do next week's injection and if any similar issues, I think I'm done.

For Diabetes, Type 2 I had every side effect - some worse than others but the worst of them was the appetite suppression. I ate virtually nothing for four weeks, went through ketosis and finally into gluconeogenesis. Losing weight as a side effect is no bad thing but not when it mimics a wasting disease. I have lost, on average, 1lb in weight a day for the time I was on this drug. Constipation, stomach cramps, nausea, fatigue and not wanting to eat a thing eventually drove me to seek an alternative. It did bring my blood sugar down but the side effects have been horrendous. I'm pretty sure a carb free diet would have had much the same effects

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

For Diabetes, Type 2 Started with .6 about 6 months ago. Nausea, dizziness, heartburn and loss of appetite. Not pleasant . Blood sugars did not seem to improve - questioned if stress due to symptoms was counteracting each other. (Stress raises glucose). Decided to give the drug it's best shot so after two week increased the dosing to maximum. (1.8). Slowly symptoms subsided and post meal glucose came down. Down substantially. Fasting still remains around 130 to 140 but that also is improved. Post meal about 140 if I eat a proper diet. While I would have preferred a greater reduction in numbers the drug is beneficial. Side effects are now all gone. I'm 64.
