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.
