I've been taking Victoza for about 5-6 weeks now. I got off my diet and watching what I eat and my sugar went up. My Dr wanted it down quickly. I have to say initially I had bouts of nausea with it but I seem to have adjusted to it now for the most part. My fasting sugars have dropped from 250 to 109 this morning. I also take Actos and Metformin with it as well. It's a once a day shot and is supposed to help you lose weight as well, since being on it I've lost about 12 pounds, that could be due to the initial nausea but it is an appetite suppresant as well. One hint tho if you decide to use it and take Metformin or any other drug, I've found if I wait about an hour after the shot to take the other meds I can tolerate it better with less nausea especially if I eat a little something with the pills. Good luck all!

I want to get off the Actos as well, not only is there a chance of bladder cancer but there is an increased risk over the age of 45 for heartattack and stroke.
