The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced in Oct2006 the approval of Januvia (sitagliptin phosphate) Tablets, the first diabetes treatment approved in a new class of drugs known as DPP-4 inhibitors that enhances the body's own ability to lower elevated blood sugar.

I've been on Avandamet for quite a while for Type-2 diabetes but Avandamet alone, along with diet and exercise, didn't provide adequate blood sugar control. So, my doctor put me on Januvia in Dec2006.

I saw my blood glucose readings improve somewhat and have not experienced any side affects for far.

I was just wondering if anyone else has any experience with this new medicine.
