I'am new to Januvia. Just started useing it and also taking Metformin for the first time. I'am on Actos as well. Because Januvia is a new drug I was wondering how it was working for other people.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

I was also on metformin, 250mg/day. My doc at that time pushed it to 1000mg/day and I had a severe reaction to it. I learned later that he should have slowly increased the dosage as to avoid a severe reaction LOL. I have also tried Januvia. For me, it did work, it lowered my BS and curbed my appetite (a very nice side effect). Unfortunately, I also got the hives from it and had to come off it. Same for Byette. They both worked for me, but both caused hives. Bummer! Everyone is so very individual when it comes to managing our diabetes. My advice is this: see an endocrinologist. And remember that YOU are the one in control. I struggled for many months to get my primary care doc to try oral meds as I wanted off of insulin. I got nowhere and my brother recommended I go to an endo. Which I did. And she explained things to me that no other doc in 10 years of diabetes had explained to me. That alone helped me to handle being on insulin a little better. She also was willing to try a combo of insulin and oral meds. We're working on it :-) Good luck!!

I just looked this up and it appears to be a very new diabetes drug.
I have never heard of it and i am sure not many other have either.
can you tell us all a bit about it ? How is it working for you ?

Diabetes is a chronic disease and I don't think you can reverse it. That said I read this interesting book http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=549
that gave me a lot of useful tips about my disease and also a different perspective on the best therapeutical approach. I think you should read it too.
