Because of the high cost of Januvia and because I currently am not working and do not have health insurance, I discussed stopping Januvia with my doctor. He discouraged me from stopping it and I still have about 30 x 100 mg pills left. So I thought I would Jassnaroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15591069302386496714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-13391232043546557102010-01-24T08:56:28.620-05:002010-01-24T08:56:28.620-05:00Alethea,

Byetta. <br />2. Prandin or Starlix at meal times.<br />3. Fast acting Insulin at meal times.<br /><br />If you did not Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-13587119294484072092010-01-23T21:55:30.857-05:002010-01-23T21:55:30.857-05:00Hi Jenny,

I got urticaria from Metformin and Glibizide. I do better with a combo, because I am susceptible to insulin resistance. Januvia has worked well with precose. Don't know what else to do because of my sudden and deadly allergic reactions to many medications.

There are currently no supplements which have been shown to reliably lower blood sugar and quite a few that appear to do so, when taken to the lab turn out to contain cheap generation 1 Sulfonylurea drugs which are known to trigger heart attacks. <br /><br />Metformin, Byetta, and Insulin are the drugs that really lower blood Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-47871090546280261962009-08-13T13:06:16.012-04:002009-08-13T13:06:16.012-04:00I have been taking Januvia for several months with...I have been taking Januvia for several months with no apparent change in my blood sugar levels.

Since starting Januvia, my insulin has been cut in HALF! Nothing else has worked for my insulin resistance, even close to the way Januvia has. And I have lost 20 lbs, which I could not do before, so before you make a blanket statement, do your homeowrk. It does work for many people who are insulin resistant, but no drug works for everyone, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
