Blood Sugar control

[Ultrabuzzard]

I think I might have just discovered my blood sugar control "Holy Grail"! I started on Januvia on Wednesday, adding it to the Acto plus Met, and in two days my fasting sugar readings have gone from 189 to 126(this morning at 6:30am). At 12:30, after two meals, my sugar reading is 120!!

WOW!!

Excellent! Don't forget to get the HbA1c just to get that three month "average"

*type 1 diabetic here

Good for you! Is the new medicine OK with the FAA (hope so). I expect based on family history that someday in my 60s or so I may have to take oral meds for type II diabetes, and it's really been encouraging to see the strides that medicine has taken in combating the disease, AND the "we want you to fly" attitude the FAA has taken over the last decade.

Yep, Januvia is on the FAAs good list

You cannot have Januvia with ACTOS. That is a grounding combination!!!
