Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy.

Hi,
Do any of you take Janumet?
Atpeacemary
I did and it only worked for a bit. I had to switch to insulin. But I wish I was back on Janumet. With Insulin, there is this weight gain in some people and I am one of them. I was able to tolerate it. I have heard that some people, they had an adverse reaction to it.

I have been taking Janumet for about eight months and have had no issues with it. I am not good about monitoring my diabetes (have other life-time issues), and I am also on Glimepiride and Farxiga. My last A1C was 7.0. At my last appointment, the doctor said she would keep me on the same drugs but wanted me to get the A1C below 7.0, or she would consider putting me on something injectable. I really need to watch my diet closer and get some exercise. That is my goal prior to my next A1C test.

My a1c was 6.5 and the dr has me on insulin only. I wish I can get something for this weight gain. I am not eating that as much as before so why am I still gaining.

I was a law clerk for a certain government agency for two years while in law school and was looking forward to a great...
