What Are The Side Effects Of Januvia 100 Mg?
I took Januvia 100 mg for 3 years and then the side effects were horrible. I felt death coming on. I had chest pains, pain in my feet, body stiffness. After 6 months off, my A1C is 6.3. Should I use another brand of diabetes medication such as Metformin?

Hello and thanks for posting. First, sorry to hear about the side effects. Unfortunately, any medication has the potential for side effects. Congratulations that your A1C is 6.3 and you state you achieved this off the medication for 6 months. Metformin can be used if ok with your physician and you do not have any kidney problems. I hope that you continue your success and perhaps you can change your diet even more, by diet changes
