Right after starting on Januvia, I began experiencing pain in my wrist at the location of a previous fracture. A few weeks later, I began experiencing pain in my elbow similar to 'tennis elbow'. Today, I reread the literature accompanying my container of Januvia and noticed a reference to joint pain as a side effect. I have been a Type 2 diabetic for 5+ years and Januvia has been the best drug yet for lowering blood sugar readings. One must be consistent with dosage and exercise is necessary--in my opinion--to get its maximum effect. Under those conditions, I have been able to reduce my daily Lantus dosage by half, results that allow me to overlook the side effect.

There are many natural products to help your blood sugar.. . .instead of taking drugs that can cause side effects. Unfortunately, drs. learned in medical school to push drugs. . . .of course, the incentives from the drug co's.
