Diabetes, Type 2
"Metformin and Glipizide weren&#039;t working well enough to keep my blood sugar in control. My doctor added Starlix at meals and that seemed to help some but still didn&#039;t produce the desired results. As a last resort to beginning insulin, he prescribed Januvia. Wow! What a difference. My morning readings dropped from the 170s into the 80-90 range within a week or two. Only negative side effect is occasional constipation, but nothing I can&#039;t deal with. Have been taking Januvia for about four months and one positive benefit I&#039;ve noticed is a decrease in cravings or appetite in the evenings (the worst time of the day for me)."
