when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza® has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza® is not insulin. do not take victoza® if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza® or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include itching, rash, or difficulty breathing. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza®, including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis). stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin

may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting. side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza®. it's covered by most health plans.

they won't pay me and they can go after their driver's license if they have a professional license from the state, they can freeze that. so there's some things they can do. it takes a long time. it gets costly. >> francis c. asks, if a product says it's distributed in the u.s., can it actually have been made in another country? if so, why don't countries have to declare where it was made and not just distributed? >> they have to declare where it was made. the distributed thing, i've never enseen that. that's amazing. as far as i know, there is no legal term for what that means. that just means it was distributed here, so what. they have to tell you where it was made. if it's made in america, fine. if not, they have to tell you. i've never even heard of it. >> tyler w. asks, i'm new to san francisco. i was wondering if there were a best time of year to look for a new apartment? >> oh, yeah, there is actually. september, october is a pretty
