Januvia (sitagliptin): Love this Drug. I have been on Januvia for at least a year and a half now. When I started, I noticed that in combination with metformin, if I am walking or exercising, within few (1-3) hours after taking a pill, my sugars are terrific and going down significantly. I couldn't achieve this with Gliburide and metformin alone. I used to have under-skin tissues all over the body formed like it is a bulge under skin, many bulges actually. After I started Januvia all those accumulations of tissue disappeared.

Januvia (sitagliptin): I have been on Januvia for 6 months. My sugar levels are great. No side effects. It makes me feel not hungry. I was taking Amaryl once a day and metformin twice a day, plus Diovan for blood pressure. Now I am only on Januvia. I started going to the gym and eating healthier, I now have lost 60 lbs. Personally it is the best medicine I have found.

Januvia (sitagliptin): I have been on Januvia for almost a month. My blood sugars run in the 90's, but my appetite has increased and I crave sweets. I have gained 4 pounds and am experiencing all over joint pains and muscle aches.

Januvia (sitagliptin): I have been on januvia for three weeks.My blood sugar has been great.What a big change from amaryl! And I've lost 5 lbs in these 3 weeks, a side benifit. Have read a scary blog on this drug though, that causes me to be a bit worried. They mention something called Stevens-Johnson syndrom, some are complaining with really bad joint pain, some with really bad acne, and skin infections. Hope they don't come in a few months from now and recall it like they have others in the past.
