Hello!
I am type 2 and very overweight. 124.5 kgs in fact, 19.5 stones. In an effort to lose weight and get my sugars controlled better I've been prescribed Victoza last Tuesday by the local diabetic clinic. Five days in, I'm certainly eating less, especially smaller portions and the initial nausea has worn off. I have to speak with the clinic soon about doubling the dose to 1.2 mg/ml.
Is anyone else on Victoza and further on with it? I'm interested to compare notes. In the past I've been prescribed Reductil (now withdrawn) and Byetta (didn't work for me).
I have other health issues which would be hugely benefited by losing a significant amount of weight which I've failed to shift by just dieting. I have great respect for those who are succeeding with unassisted dieting by the way!
I do seem to have lost a few pounds already but my scales aren't very reliable.
