Any Victoza users?

Does anyone here use it? Do you still take your other diabetes medicine with it? Any experience provided would mean a lot to me, thank you.

Hi See my post Dolphin500 on this Very Subject last night.

That sounds promising for your daughter! So is she currently giving herself two separate injections (the Victoza and the Humilog)? I applaud her tenacity.

I'm sorry! I do have diabetes. My doctor mentioned Victoza during my last visit. I currently have an undiagnosed disease as well and I have been looking at the forum of what I could potentially have.

I've seen a rheumatologist, optometrist, ophthalmologist (although I learned nothing new there), and a gastroenterologist, in addition to the "regular" doctor who showed me my irregular blood test results. "This points to an underlying disease, but I'm not too worried," she told me.
She felt my stomach and found a lump. I had an ultrasound but they found nothing.
This all started when I kept getting "uveitis," inflammation of both of my eyes. I had it 7 times in a year. Doctor thought it might be lupus. I had diarrhea here and there but besides the uveitis, not really any other symptoms I could think of. I get nauseous a lot.
The rheumatologist found nothing rheumatologically wrong with me. No lupus. Blood tests with her showed I had inflammatory bowel disease.
The gastroenterologist felt my stomach, found nothing. Had an expensive colonoscopy, they found nothing. Dr. told me as long as I was feeling okay, I could avoid having another pricey procedure (an MRI). I asked her "So do I have IBD?" "I wouldn't say that," she responded. "Sometimes tests can be wrong."
I've had blood taken over and over again, pee taken, a scraping of my colon (biopsy?).
I'm currently on Metformin 1000 mg two times a day. My doctor doesn't have me check my blood sugar. I go every 3 months to check my A1C and it's gone down each time I've seen her.
I throw up, on average, once a week. Sometimes it's several times a week, sometimes it's none at all. I'm nauseous a lot and I think it's partly because of the Metformin, and I do try to avoid fried foods to avoid that feeling. Sometimes if I have a large variety of foods I throw up.
At the end of the day, seeing all of these doctors with, frankly, lousy insurance has put my medical bills into the thousands. I think all that's left for me is a "small bowel scope" which I think is the MRI. Which could be thousands of dollars. I have been scoping the Crohn's disease forum, seeing if anyone has a similar story.

I wrestle with the fact that my doctor doesn't have me checking my blood sugar. It's strange but I hate needles so I feel I shouldn't complain. My sister and my mom see her too (both diabetics) and they don't check theirs either. My sister, who's 5 years older, is on a smaller dose than me. I take the same dose as my 64-year-old mom. I thought it was weird she started me off on that dosage and not, like you said, a smaller one.
Might have to do some research as to who is available in my network because I was told I was really lucky to get into this doctor's office due to demand.
