Victoza Update- almost two years later

Okay, fellow Type 1's and those who have Type 2....I have been on Victoza for almost two years now.  I have learned that I do not react to it like everyone else.

1.  I only need it every-other day.
2.  I don't need the maximum dose of 1.8ml.  I take 1.2 ml and do just fine.
3.  Victoza does not help with appetite or weight loss after the first few months.  I gained everything back.  But, it does help keep my weight stable.
4.  If I take it every day, it loses its effectiveness after about two weeks.
5.  I have better results if I inject in the afternoon or evening.

Overall, it is a very useful drug and I have had no side effects. If I take it consistently every-other day, my a1c improves.  Otherwise, my BG numbers go up. I simply regulate my dosage so that I get the maximum effectiveness.  Of course, do not do what I have done without consulting your physician first!  This is not a recommendation for anyone else- it is just what I have done that works for me.  Happy Dosing :-)
