Comment:
I have been on 100 mgs. Januvia (in combination with 1000 mgs. Metformin)for just over 3 months now. No ill side effects and saw a reduction in my appetite. The Met. alone would not lower my fasting BG - the Januvia had it normal within 10 days. Last A1c = 6.3, a drop from 10.4 in six month time frame.

This is the first med I have tried for my diabetes. It, combined with diet and exercise has helped me keep my blood sugars at normal levels.

Finally, my BSL are in the normal range. I've been on several meds in the past few years and had minimal results. I take a mere 50mg of this a day. I feel good, am losing weight, and have more energy.
