When I first started taking Januvia it was like a god send to me. My bs dropped and I started losing weight. Since sugars were not low enough, I started taking janumet. A1C results were consistently 6.3 even tho' I ate anything I liked. Have taken Janumet for almost a year now and weight is 135lbs (height is 5'3"). Nice, since I just couldn't lose weight earlier (also have an under active thyroid and a sweet tooth). I recently experienced my first hot flash in an air conditioned room no less (am 46 yrs old). Started having migraines around my period. Left shoulder hurt when I raised my arm or reached behind me. Digestive system was a mess. Never experienced high blood pressure but had my first high BP reading at my last check up. Stopped Janumet after reading posts here and started feeling better right away. Digestion is normal. Don't know what to do now.

I have started having high blood pressure that the blood pressure medicine the doctor put me on will not get down since I started taking Januvia.No great relief with blood sugars either. I make TOO MUCH of my own insulin and they were trying to get it down with Januvia. Of course, since I have too much of my own insulin giving me insulin is not an answer. We tried that and the more I take the higher the blood sugar goes and then it's up the Insulin. Daughter is a doctor..... she says that will ruin my pancreas and that will be that....no MORE ME !!! I never react normally to most things anyway.
