switched to januvia

victoria475

Been on januvia for a week.  Blood sugar is not going below 120 ...and as high as 250.
Was on glyburide.  Had trouble with BS dropping as low as 40. Doc thought I would do
better with this drug.   I have only one kidney so
was prescribed a 50mg dose.  Will it regulate after I have been on for awhile?

I remember you posted earlier this year with dawn phenomenon symptoms and by switching to a low/no carb diet your glucose levels lowered, but no mention then of below normal levels [40 mg/dl]. Is your doctor an Endocrinologist? I ask because it is difficult to determine how long it may take Januvia to take affect with your personal medical history. After one week, I suggest you notify your doctor and let him/her know that your levels remain higher than normal.
