januvia
I also take powder welchol at supper. I would like to take my 1000mg of Januvia at bedtime to help lower my morning blood sugar readings that usually run in the 150's to 160, Any cons to taking the Januvia without food at bedtime?
But if she has been Type 2 for many years, been tried on different meds and still has high blood sugars there is a possibility she is no longer producing enough of her own insulin and may have to be put on insulin. A test called a c-peptide could determine how much insulin she is still making, but her doctor would know her history as I described above and have a good idea if insulin is now called for.
So here is the thing been diabetic for you a few months now and i have been through alot of pills and my doctor hasn't keeps upping them i seen him today and he gave me insulin to take.. but he still wants me to take all the pills is it to much it would be

I have been on Metformin, Januvia and Glimeperide for a few years. They are not controlling my diabetes. She wanted me to try Victoza and give up the Januvia. I got over fear of giving myself the shot, but on the 3rd day I began to get sick. On the 4th and 5th days I couldn't even go to work. Changed shot to before bed instead of morning and it made no difference. After a little over a week I stopped it. Lost 5 lbs cause I couldn't eat anything.
i am losing my insurance so i cant take januvia. What should i take?
81 yr. old Mom taking Glip/metform 5-500 1 1/2 pills breakfast/lunch/dinner and Januvia 5omg breakfast and dinner. Blood sugar still not under control. Can these be increased or is insulin next step?
I am Type ll diabetic taking metformin & Januvia. My levels are climbing and the Dr. is considering insulin for me. I do not want to be insulin dependent. Trying to lower with diet changes but have other health issues that restrict what I can eat. I have high cholesterol (can't take any statin drugs to lower), diverticulosis,irritable bowel, fibromyalgia and now a mouth full of braces so am unable to eat many things because my teeth do not hit together to chew.
We have decrmy Lantus to 10eased units in the even. and 1/2 Amaryl in the a.m. and p.m. I also take Januvia 100mg, and 2000 mg Metformin a day. My A1c has been 6.6 for a few years now, but have moved and have a new Dr. who wanted me to try the Victoza. My BS are running 154 (No lower) to as high as 272. OCCASIONALLY I might have a reading as high as 272 (My B'day celebration had to many sweets) :(. but not this high On a regular basis.
Everyone is different so what works for me may not for you. I take glyburide,januvia and two insulins. My sugar is in much better control now and symptons(sweating,shakes tired)occure much lesss often.
Insulin is your friend not your enemy. Using insulin will give you excellent control (with a bit of learning how to properly use it), along with diet and exercise.
Everyone I have ever talked to with diabetes only say they wish they had started insulin earlier than they actually did.
Don't be afraid. take the plunge and do it. With such high blood sugars, the alternative, of not treating properly, is a sure signing of a death warrant - and one that is probably painful and drawn out.
s, in addition to being insulin resistant become insulin deficient. I find it interesting that you say you are insulin deficient (have you had a c-peptide test, how much was it?) and your doctor doesn't want you on insulin. Once your body no longer produces sufficient insulin, you can take all the oral meds you want and your numbers will be high. I suggest you get a c-peptide test to see how much insulin you are actually producing.
I do not eat before exercise at five thirty every day. I am taking metformin glimperide januvia and atenolol for my high blood pressure. Before i exercise blood sugars are 156. After exercise they go to 226. Why? I take my meds about fifteen minutes before my exercise routine. Blood sugars continusously drop as the day goes on. before dinner time they can be 100. after eating they drop to 60 sometimes.
t get byeta, are there any similar drugs that are covered under your plan? Byeta is a class of drugs called insulin mimetics. This includes Byeta/ Bydureon, Victoza, Januvia, among others. Maybe your Dr can check if any of the others are covered and may be of help for you.
If you cannot get these drugs, you may want to try a low carb diet (low carb, moderate protein, and fat for balance of energy). Some people find this way of eating helps both blood sugar control and weight management.
i m asking as haw the use of sitaglipin help in conlrolling the sugar levels.
No Steroids since then. And yes I am taking Januvia but when I start to have infection,sinuses infection my blood sugar goes up and down which I am aware that infections and antibotics make it do that. My concern is where this cyst is located in the sphenoid sinuses due to the fact of the pituitary gland is also located there I do not know where the cyst is ie.
Immediately she prescribed Metformin and Januvia. Her body did not react well on Metformin and we switched to Glupizide 5mg once a day in the morning. She continues to have out of control sugar. Like for example yesterday in the morning it was 320, and after a pill it went down to 260. A week ago when her sugar was out of control, I took her to ER where she was put on IV and was given some insulin. Her condition improved immediately, but deteriorated again 5 hours later.
Sorry to be getting back to you after all these months. I am maintaining a stage 3 and was on a 3 month regiment of vitamin d and we also eliminated metformin. I take Amaryl now, instead.. My blood glucose was out of control but my PCP put me on Victoza. That seems to be helping with the exception of BS levels being very low in the morning. My PCP has suggested she might take me off the Amaryl and just have me take more insulin along with the Victoza and Januvia.
Been on januvia for a week. Blood sugar is not going below 120 ...and as high as 250.
Was on glyburide. Had trouble with BS dropping as low as 40. Doc thought I would do
better with this drug. I have only one kidney so
was prescribed a 50mg dose. Will it regulate after I have been on for awhile?
