Comment:
I was placed on this medication in June of last year. First several months were horrible. Nausea was terrible but I stuck it out. My most recent labs were excellent. Hgb A1C was 4.5 all other labs were in good range and I have lost 82 pounds to date. I would highly recommend this if you can stick out the beginning. My starting A1C was 12.8 and my weight was 233.

I loved Victoza. It helped with hungry control too. Unfortunately my insurance won’t cover it and I can’t pay over $600/month.

Was told to start at .6 for two weeks. Started at .3 to check for allergies. That has made me so sick and nauseated I am going back to .1 and will try to work up to a decent size dose,but its going to take a while. Injecting was way less painful than testing blood sugar
