Used for 2 months, when got to full dose had continuous heartburn, diarrhea, continuous nausea & massive headache. It lowered sugars really well & added benefit of significant weight loss. Too bad I was sick all the time. I am trying something else.

Insurance forced me from Byetta to Victoza due to the cost. I am using 1.8 once a day and getting poor am readings in the 200-250 range with Victoza so I am researching alternatives. With Byetta I was always 140-160. I tried Bydereon, once a week exenatide, but the needle was enormous and worse it left a lump at the injection site. But it also contained my am reading to 140-160.

Let me first say that I just started this medication and am still on the starter dose of 0.6, but already I can feel my cravings and desire to eat subsiding. I have had some intermittent nausea but it's mild and tolerable. Only other side offect was a mild headache and my fasting blood sugar was 77 this morning. 77!

I have had some intermittent nausea but it's mild and tolerable. Only other side offect was a mild headache and my fasting blood sugar was 77 this morning. 77! I am also on Invokana and Glipizide and without the Victoza my sugars were in the 180s-200s fasting. Also, for those dreading the needle, it is tiny. I felt only one of the three needle sticks so far and the one I did feel was much less painful than sticking my finger to check my blood sugar, which I do multiple times a day. Don't let fear of an injection keep you from considering this medication as an option. I will update once I have been on Victoza for a longer time.

After two years of taking Victoza, my blood sugar came down from 7.0 to 5.7 A1C, and I've lost 30 pounds. I'm thrilled! Also, using Reli-On 4 MM/32Gauge pen needles from Walmart. Much more comfortable than the BD needles. All I'm not too happy with is the cost of Victoza.
