A1c marginally improved. No weight loss. Diet stable. Developed external yeast infection 6 months ago. No better. Not sure how much longer I can endure it.

Been on for 1.5 months. Blood sugar stabilizing, bad yeast infection from it, so now am taking double the probiotics to help keep that at bay. Have lost 12 lbs since taking, am more thirsty on it as well.

Comment:
pretty good so far, on it for about 3 weeks now. have noticed severe gas with this med tho, I can easily clear out a large room -oh well. other then that I will have to see what my insurance will cover after my year of 5$ co-pay is up. if it is too much I will just go back to victoza which was working well also.
