"i&rsquo;ve been taking victoza since early august for type 2 diabetes. at a once daily dose of 1.2mg it has been moderately effective at lowering my blood sugar to 130 or less. it&rsquo;s greatest success so far has been helping me to lose weight. i&rsquo;m down 20 pounds so far without diet or exercise. my appetite has plummeted since i started victoza. i simply cannot eat anywhere near what i used to. i often end up skipping meals simply because i&rsquo;m not hungry. 

side effects, including nausea for a few weeks when i first started taking victoza and ongoing mild constipation, are easily manageable considering the benefits of taking this drug."
