"i have type 2 diabetes my blood sugar is controlled.  i am very overweight, i was 5&#039;8 314 lbs on january 6th of this year.  disgusted with my predicament,  i started two things weight watchers and victoza.  this morning i weighed in at 293 lbs.  i started out on the 0.6 dosage that i could barely tolerate and have eventually made it to the 1.2 dosage this is my sweet spot, i have plans to move up my dosage at this points as my morning blood sugars are 85-90 and will decrease with more weight loss.  victoza is truly a miracle. before victoza i took metforming 500 mg er which did nothing to help me lose weight. it controlled my blood sugars but no weight loss.  i am excited to see how much more i can lose, in 1 month i dropped 21 pounds."
