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?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
