Benefits
I was taking another medication for treatment of my diabetes2, I was very unhappy was the side effects and ineffectiveness of the other drug. Before starting Januvia, I read about the possible side effects and discussed my concerns with my Endocrinologist. She suggested trying it for 4 weeks and then we would re-assess. My blood sugar stayed within the target range, no periods of low blood sugar (a problem with the other med). 9 months later my A1C is the best I have ever seen – 5.6.
Side Effects
Headaches and a few G. I. symptoms, but nothing terrible from taking Januvia medication.
