janumet for pcos

i used janumet for my sugar it make me gain weight but it lower my sugar why isnt suppose to make u loose weight

My husband was recently diagnosed with type II diabetes. His doctor has prescibed janumet. In reading about the drug I've found info stating that "one should not consume excessive alcohol" and also "one should avoid alcohol". My husband drinks at least one glass of wine/beer a day with more on weekends. I'm confused as to what excesive means or if he is suppose to avoid alcohol totally. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will make an appointment for a referral after all.

hi i am presently living in the Philippines and i have run out of my janumet 50mg/500mg tablets and they are not available here in Philippines the only diabetic tablets available where i live are Metformin 500 tablets, can i substitute these for the janumet ?

I am 27 years old. Diabetic on Janumet (Januvia and Metfromin 50/1000 2x daily) I have PCOS in a severe state. I have not had a period in 8 years. Not even Provera can induce. My testosterone is 387 as of last week. Last years reading was 197 ng/ml. My estrogen is minimal. My ovaries are enlarged with a thickened stroma including many cysts. I have one adopted child but no biological. I am the poster child (according to my gyn) for Turners Syndrome. Short (5'1" 230 lbs.

If your diabetes is not well controlled this could be the cause of your not being able to gain weight. If you have Type 1 diabetes, you may also be at risk for other diseases that can contribute to poor weight gain, like Celiac disease. The other question is, why do you want to gain weight? You can some nutrient dense foods like nuts which have good fats and proteins without too high a carb load as part of your diet. Weight bearing exercise is great as a general rule.

Just out of curiousity, at what prolactin level would you recommend an MRI to be done when the prolactin comes back outside of the normal range and pregnancy and medications have been ruled out as the cause? FYI my symptoms prior to having the blood work ordered were ongoing lactation for 5 years after the birth of my son. I didn't mention it to my DR. for a long time as I thought it COULD be normal. One more thing if you don't mind...

Plus you could discuss changing meds. BTW There is a combination pill Janumet that c ombines Metformin and Januvia. This may be helpful to you as well.

Last night I got up to go to the bathroom, and when I stood up, I became very dizzy, was very nauseated, and broke out into a complete body sweat. This last for approximately 15 minutes, and then the symptoms slowly went away. I thought I had to vomit, but when I intentionally tried to vomit, nothing happened. I have type 2 diabetes and currently take Janumet twice a day. Could this have been low blood sugar, or high blood sugar?

I have been reading having diabetes can lessen your chance of svr if on treatment. I am worring! he is on an oral medication for the type 2 the med is Janumet. His blood sugar is controlled and his doctor said hes doing good on it my question is could this problem lessen his chances for svr? any info is appreciated. Wishing you all on treatment SVR!!!

says metformin at both 500 x 2 and 1000 x 2 are both equally ineffeciant for treating diabetes. She highly recommends Janumet 5/500. Gus added this to his and has seen a decline in sugars. I did as well when I was switched.

You said she had an angiogram but do you know if it was for the heart only or for the lungs? Pulmonary embolism can affect the right coronary artery.

Greetings SFX, Hysterectomy is not standard treatment for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a disorder that stems from the ovaries. Removing your uterus will not cure PCOS. First line treatment for PCOS often includes combined hormone therapy a.k.a "birth control pills" , weight loss, evaluation for endocrine disorders such as diabetes and in the event of hirsutism (male hair pattern) spironolactone. Removal of the ovaries in the reproductive age women is associated.

My diabetese medicine was changed from Pioglar + Metformin 500 twice a day to Janumet 50+1000 twice a day in around March 2011. I have since lost about 15 KG and it is still going down @ 1 kg per month. I was happy to reach my ideal weight. However, I do not know how to stop further loss. I am Diabetic, so can not discontinue Metformin. Any suggestion ?

i was wondering if you can get pregnant having PCOS and not taking anything for the PCOS. It is probably slim to none.

I take Lexapro for depression and anxiety. It has really helped me tremendously. I am also diabetic and take Janumet. I would like to become pregnant soon and was wondering if anyone had experience with Lexapro while pregnant/breastfeeding. Do you know if it's approved or known safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding?

It sounds like you might have Polycystic Ovarian Cyst Syndrome (PCOS) and only a doctor can determine what course is right for you to take. Good luck!

However he did add yet another medication to my list besides the antibiotic for the toe... Listrol or something like that for High Blood pressure. 155/95 is where I have been for a few months to a year. I feel like I'm about to turn 80 not 30.

It was originally for breast cancer, but seems to help with ovulation in pcos. From all the research ive done laprascopy is sort of the last resort. I'd try a new doc.

Women who are 35+ have these risks increased, but in reality at any age you can have a baby that has birth defects. Just because you have PCOS does not mean your baby will have any birth defects. How long have you been trying for a baby? I'm 23 and haven't even started yet and I too have PCOS. I know when we do start trying it may take some time, and I'm willing to wait until I'm 30 or even old to have my first baby. Are you taking any meds to help with getting pregnant?

Dont let doctors tell you that you are too young for treatment its never too early to begin treatment for pcos if it is left untreated symptoms could worsen drastically. I dont recommend buying stuff online and creating your own dosage, you dont know how your body will react to clomiphene you could over stimulate your ovulation or harm yourself, consult a different doctor, one who is willing to assist you in your conception.

Dear All, Can you help me understand why the Gp thinks three ovarian cysts or right ovary and one on cervix?? si not enough for pcos?? I have history of cysts rupturing ten years ago, I have hirtuism on my face, nipples stomach and bikini area and have had since the birth of my second child 14 years ago. I have been in hospital recently with suspected kidney stones that i suspect may have been these cysts?? and now ive been started on ace inhibitors to bring down high blood pressure.

Hi love, I'm 20 yrs old and have had pcos for 7 years! The pill has helped me and makes me feel better because not having a regular cycle increases the risks of get cancer of the uterus! I never used to get my period! And now if I missed one I have to go to the doctors and everything cause apparently its a high risk! I'm on Yasmin, which it good for the hair and acne I'm pretty sure as well! As far as what diets, I have these really good books about special diet for pcos!

Hi, I am 53 year old male. I need help for the issue I am having for last 8-9 months. My left temple gets tingling effect, and than numbness on my ear, temple, top of the eye. This stays for may be 5 minutes every time. First CT scan showed swelling on pituitary. After that few MRI, and another CT scan didn't show anything!!! By consultation with neurologist, I am diagnosed having Benign Fasciculation. I am diabetic, taking Janumet, Mavik, Aspirin, Crestor, Celebrex everyday.

When I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes I went through several medications before I found 1 that fit me - I am a non insulin dependent diabetic .
