diabetes, type 2
"I have been on Victoza for about 3 months. I had been on Metformin, but I had the unusual side effect of it making my fingers swell.  Then I tried Byetta and after a couple of months, my fingers swelled to such a serious degree I had to get off all medicines and I tried controlling my levels with just diet. My sugars started going up and I tried Victoza. 

It has worked beautifully for me. I have to take the Victoza right before I eat because otherwise I have bad cramping, so if someone is getting cramping, they could try taking it before a meal and see if it helps. Have only lost 5 lbs."
