For Type 2 Diabetes "Was taking Onglyza, a very effective pill for my condition, but VA decided to change me over to alogliptin/Nesina. Now I wake up every morning with blurry vision, which makes it hard for me to focus on things and very hard to read fine print."

For Type 2 Diabetes "My glucose went from 150-180 before Nesina use. With a 12.5 mg dose, blood sugar went up. The doctor placed me on 25 mg. Then blood sugar went to 190 am - 230 pm after the first day. On the second day, it was 273 pm. All I want to do is eat. I am stopping this medication. It is raising my glucose instead of lowering it."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I started taking this medication about 9 months ago, and my blood sugar came down considerably, which is a good sign. So far, it is not showing any side effects. This medication is not cheap, but it is getting more and more expensive every day. In the last 9 months, they have raised their prices 3 times. Today, I finally decided to quit taking it because I can't afford it anymore. My insurance is partially covering it, but my portion is big too. I don't know if I can find any substitute for this med, if not, then God bless me!"

For Type 2 Diabetes "This drug attacked my eyes hours after the first dose. I had extremely blurry vision the entire three days I took it, and then when I stopped, blood vessels burst, and my eyes felt like they had sand in them for two days. United Healthcare forced me to take it because they don't want to pay for Januvia, which worked well for me."
