For Type 2 Diabetes "Insurance would no longer cover Oseni, which was working great. Suggested this one. Stomach is a mess. Was up all night wanting to throw up and with severe chills. Did keep my blood sugar between 90-120, but I just want to die."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I found this drug very easy to take and has been extremely effective in reducing my A1C levels to normal. We started with the larger dose and have now reduced it to the smaller one to see if there is any impact."

For Type 2 Diabetes "A friend's sister takes this with great success. Asked my doctor to put me on it, and my fasting blood sugar rates soared every morning. Went from around the 140s to the 240s. Took it about one month without any adverse side effects, but asked my doctor to put me back on my original meds, and my numbers are coming back down. Also, a rather expensive drug compared to others on the market."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I have had great success in lowering my blood glucose levels using Jentadueto and Invokana together. I have experienced no serious side effects and would recommend that all Type II diabetics speak to their doctors about these wonderful medications."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Though not great in controlling my sugar levels, there is definitely an improvement in the level with this drug. The best part is that I feel great after having started this, no side effects, and it seems I have more muscle now :) A1C seems to be dropping too. Will know in the next month when I get tested."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Since starting this medication, I have had nothing but troubles with my stomach and digestive tract. The dose was lowered, and it subsided some, but not enough for me to continue taking it. I was on Janumet previously, for a short while because of insurance coverage changes, and had the same issues. Absolutely read warnings for side effects and know them well."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Transferred from Metformin to Jentadueto but did not take it with a meal consistently… Had stomach issues, weakness, confusion, and dementia-type symptoms with anxiety and depression! B12 levels appear on the lower side of the range."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I used to take Metformin, which gave me stomach problems and really didn't help my A1C. I started on this drug a year ago and have had no adverse effects, despite the fact that it contains Metformin; it also brought my A1C down to a normal level. My only gripe is the high price! My insurer lists this as a Tier 3 ($$$ drug). I thought the patent would expire in 2019 and make way for a more affordable generic version, but it seems the patent may have been extended a few more years. For that reason alone, I will need to return to Metformin."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Started taking Jentadueto as a step up from Metformin. It did bring my blood sugars down, but I found the side effects unbearable. I had severe motion sickness with a constant, very queasy stomach and a severe case of the runs, especially at night. I was also having nightmares keeping me from sleeping. Also, constant dizziness, so I will be seeking an alternative."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Being that it's still Metformin, it's way overpriced and I still have the side effects (although I don't have to visit the lady's room quite as much), so might as well go back to Metformin and save the money."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I lost the skin on my hands and feet so much so that I have no fingerprints on my fingers, and so itchy I could not stand it. I stopped the pill, and my hands are back to normal."
