Januvia Community Rating

Category: Oral Prescription

This seems to be a good diabetic medicine. There is no weight gain with this. Januvia is a DPP-4 inhibitor (blocker). DPP-4 blockers enhance the body's own ability to control blood sugar levels. It is a once-a-day prescription pill.

I took Januvia for about a year in combination with Glyburide/Metformin.

Cons:

The combination did not control my BS well - it was all over the place. I would wake up at night with a BS of 37 or have a BS of 298 in the middle of the day. Very expensive also.

Pros:

No bad side effects like weight gain.

So far this seems to be working for me. I was on Metformin. I was having to many side effects from it. I have only been on the Januvia for about three weeks. So I will see how it goes.

Pros:

It seems to be helping so far.

Cons:

The cost.
