Blood glucose was well within acceptable ranges for 4-6 weeks, after that they began to graduaolly increase.

Type II Diabetic since 1996. High readings in the AM from liver producing sugar during the night. Low doseage taken at night, no side effects, noticeable lower readings in the morning like 103, 116 rather than 165, 180. Very pleased!

I have been diabetic for years now. I was taking Janumet, a combination of metformin and januvia, and had severe stomach problems, a new doctor put me on onglyza and glumetza, and my sugar is stabalizing and I have had no side effects.
