I'm on victoza injection daily.. I have lost few lbs, and it curbs food cravings. It is Not Insulin.

My sister had it TWICE ! First one failed and the second one took her life. There are diabetic medications now that are being used (generic form of Ozempic for one) that are having FABULOUS weight loss results and helping avoid surgery. It is injected once a week and IS NOT Insulin.
