A member asked:

Does victoza cause weight loss just because it reduces appetite causing decreased intake or does the way the insulin and glucose work better cause it?

Improves insulin sen: victoza improves insulin sensitivity, leading to reduction of hyperinsulinemia, and reduction of weight related to that. It also reduces appetite via its effects on GI tract emptying.
