diabetes, type 2
"Like many, I was frustrated with the medication options for type II Diabetes.  My doctor had me on Actos and Glipizide which I gained 70 pounds in one year!  I tried Byetta however was so sick on it, I couldn't continue.  I also was concerned about developed issues possibly due to Actos i.e.  shortness of breath and edema in legs.  This even concerned my doctor.  The weight gain was hurting me getting better and only made things worse and the most concerning part was my blood sugar was running around 200.  My third day on Victoza and my blood sugar is already in normal range!  Yes, 109! The first time in over 9 months.  I have not had any side effects and will hopefully lose weight."
