HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Victoza can be used to help control your diabetes. It works by increasing satiety (fullness of the stomach) and also help your body's insulin.

Though some insulins (not all) may cause weight gain, metformin is not associated with weight gain and is one of the better diabetes medications.

Diabetes control is also affected by diet and activity so you would need to consider whether these are affecting your control as well.

I hope this helps
