Janumet

Grafton, Ontario, Canada

Has anyone had problems with their throat and mouth while taking Janumet . I would get this ball of phlegm in my throat, and my teeth would ache and now sometimes my mouth will become very very dry and I would get a tin taste or a burning feeling in my mouth.

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

Inverary, ON

I was reading an article in Diabetes Care Community (a Canadian Organization) and they were talking about the stigma most diabetics face from the general population

They define Diabetes Stigma as:

Stigma arises out of the attitudes, beliefs and assumptions made about those with diabetes by people without diabetes that are part of societal norms.

Stigma arises from the biases that people have toward diabetes. Such biases are sometimes explicit, as in the title above, where the person assumes… read more
