Susan,


You need to hang in there a little longer. We told you it takes about 2 weeks before your system gets used to the metformin. Don't throw in the towel yet. There are problems with Januvia besides its cost and metformin is a safer drug. You didn't develope diabetes overnight and you won't get it under control either that quickly. I know the side effects aren't fun. I have been there and done that. You will be okay.
