"i am type 1 diabetes with food issues. my weight has increased yearly to 50 lbs overweight and recently my insulin requirements were increasing rapidly and still no control over blood sugar. i have been on victoza for just over a week and have had fantastic results pretty much immediately. i am slowly increasing dose to avoid side effects and it is working. my appetite is gone and food doesn&#039;t have any control over me. i lost 5 lbs in a week and blood sugar is great! i&#039;ve also noticed another benefit - i used to drink alcohol most days and i have no desire to drink. i feel great and would say the only side effect i am having is a slight difficulty in urinating - it takes longer to empty my bladder. i love this medicine!"
