No, but it caused liver damage in me. As soon as I stopped taking it, my liver started showing improvement.
Six months ago my A1C was 7.2; at that time my Dr. doubled my Metformin so I now take 1000 milligrams twice a day. He also added [[treatment:Januvia:5612ce4f6bcd619a[[phone:12000360]] 100:]] mgs daily. I decided to work harder on diet and exercise and not take the Januvia. My next A1C was 6.7. I have continued with the 2000 mgs of metformin daily, and no Januvia. My question for all of you is - if you take Januvia, how is it working? I have read the possible side effects and find them quite… read more

What "damage" occurred with the Glipizide? I've been on that. Thanks!
Dr just prescribed Junuvia, I was on Jardiance for about 5 mo but had reaction to it and we decided to try something else, i.e.: Junivia

ok, thank you, I've only been on for few days, so we shall see, why do they produce these meds when they have so many side effects,, the bottom line I guess!!!
Advise - get into your Doctor "really soon" and tell them to get out the prescription pad
Running at that level for sustained periods of time is beyond hazardous to your long term health.

I am taking it, never had any noticeable side effects
That's great - anytime you can find a med that works for you with no noticeable side effects you stick with it
Many people take meds with no side effects - we just tend to hear about it more when… read more
I was diagnosed with Type 2 a year ago. Doctor started me out on Metformin. In that period of time the dose got up to 2500 once a day, with Victoza added. I was so sick and fatigued I could barely get out of bed everyday. I kept telling my doctor about the fatigue, vomiting, he didn't change my meds. I found another doctor who recognized my adverse reactions to the drugs, and took me off of them.. Now I am on 100 mg of Januvia daily... so far no bad side affects. My AIC is 5.8. Is anyone else on… read more

So I have noticed over the last 2 ish weeks; and yes I should have brought this up with my endocrinology doctor, however 1. I didn't like her bedside manner 2. (My mom was there; she is my care of for my being on disability)
Please do not judge me here
I have not been taking all of my medications as prescribed because well my numbers are reflecting stable. So if I eat and my number is for exame 105 bg do I still take my metformin extended release or my Januvia. The one thing I have been… read more
I agree. Take your meds as prescribed by your Doctor.
how many years is januvia likely to stay effective glucose lowering medication as a ball park estimate
You can maybe ask your pharmacist. But diabetes is a progressive disease so I would think the answer would not be accurate. What works for 1 diabetic does not always work for others neither. Each… read more
