If Anyone Is Taking Januvia, How It Is Working For You? (possible Side Effects Have Scared Me) I Also Take 2000 Mg Metformin Daily.

Six months ago my A1C was 7.2; at that time my Dr. doubled my Metformin so I now take 1000 milligrams twice a day. He also added [[treatment:Januvia:5612ce4f6bcd619a[[phone:12000360]] 100:]] mgs daily. I decided to work harder on diet and exercise and not take the Januvia. My next A1C was 6.7.

IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH YOU HAVE BEEN DOING GREAT! Losing 17 pounds will help your A1C levels so much! Keep up the good work. Definitely post a pic of the blouse you are sewing! An old home economics teacher I also occasionally do some sewing. Managed a couple of duvets in the last 6 months; next I plan to sew a couple of aprons that I am making out of salvaged men's shirts. I have an appointment with my Dr in 3 weeks or so. It will be interesting to see what my A1c is. My level of exercise is good - my control of carbs is not. We will see.

My physician would say aim HA1c below 7. Looks like you are ok.

Before I was on junevia I was taking six metformin and suffering stomache trouble, now I'm taking four with junevia. My a1c is usually always under 7. Drugs effect everyone so different but so far it's working for me.
