Sitagliptin
diabetes, type 2
"Metformin and Glipizide weren't working well enough to keep my blood sugar in control. My doctor added Starlix at meals and that seemed to help some but still didn't produce the desired results. As a last resort to beginning insulin, he prescribed Januvia. Wow! What a difference. My morning readings dropped from the 170s into the 80-90 range within a week or two. Only negative side effect is occasional constipation, but nothing I can't deal with. Have been taking Januvia for about four months and one positive benefit I've noticed is a decrease in cravings or appetite in the evenings (the worst time of the day for me)."
