I'm taking it. It is supposed to work in conjunction with other diabetic pills-metformin and maybe others-don't remember. I was told that it will help curb my appetite big time. I really don't get hungry often anyway but am a compulsive eater. That's why I'm diabetic. It made me a bit sick to my stomach for a bit and then that passed. I'm not losing weight but like I said I'm compulsive about eating and hunger has never been the reason I eat. I have talked to others who have taken it and they have lost weight very slowly for long periods of time. I just had my first tests after taking it for about four months to see if it affects my body in an adverse way. I will know next week. I am taking insulin so taking another shot is not a problem. I take it in the morning and evening. About all else I know is that the pens come in two different doses. At this point, I say thumbs up.
