Oh and I also want to mention that I continue to exercise/work out 5 days per week – 45 mins to 1 hr, w/mix of cardio/strength training……so I am sure this helps w/weight loss

week# 3 on Victoza…..since beginning initial dose .6mg I am now up to full dose @ 1.8mg every day. I have lost 6lbs since 2/3/12 (first date of initial dose) but I still have to be very carb conscious. Currently keeping under 50g total carbs per day. My carb intake consists of low GI berries in morning w/breakfast and fresh greens every day. I do not eat sugar, but sometimes I do eat processed meats which have a little higher carb content. It seems as if I avoid sugar itself and foods containing sugar, and if I keep my carb intake from veges and some low GI fruit, and keep my total carb under 50g, I continue to lose weight. If I go over 50g or have any kind of sugar on a given day, it seems the next day I gain weight (1b) INSTANTLY. So keeping my diet controlled/restricted to less than 50g total carbs is working. I look forward to reporting my progress. I have no side effects other than a great decrease in appetite at this no nausea, no diarrea, no constipation. All is good thus far. I will post in another week or so w/update. Thanks.

Berit-you are an inspiration! I have never looked back with regret from the moment we met and you were hired in the ED. Thank you for your example as well as your friendship. I don’t doubt for a minute that you will bless many people who need you throughout your career as a nurse as well as diabetic educator. It is a privilege knowing you.

I read Gary’s first book in 2006, just after my daughter was diagnosed. That book helped me greatly in understanding how to get control of diabetes. I’d love to get the second edition for the update

DM Books. The book looks awesome. I want one! I always get inspired to take better care of myself when I’m my own advocate at better managing my Type I diabetes, which I’ve had to 32 years now.
