I would highly recommend this product to others. I had an upset stomach when first prescribed but that only lasted a couple of weeks. In 5 months I have lowered my A1C from 7.0 to 5.8. I have lost 16 lbs. I have more energy and feel great. I take with 2x/day Metformin. I exercise daily and eat a reasonably healthy diet.

I was fine taking .6 and 1.2 dosage, when I increased to 1.8 I had injection site hives (very large 3-4 inches) that appeared 24-48 hours after injection. I have reduced back down to 102 and the reaction has continued.

When i first started taking victoza it made me feel like I had a stomach virus because if the vomiting and diharrea. I stopped taking it for a week and restarted taking it. In the beginning my fasting numbers were 250+ after 3 months of taking it my numbers are 120 and less.
