I was on Januvia, it messed my thyroid up and threw me into hyperthyroidism! My idle heart rate was like 99bpm. I got my
glucose down to 140 from 180 but the DR and I both new januvia was messing me up. So I went on Bayetta. If the Bayetta isn't working for you you need to be sure you are getting your full injection. I have had some pens fail and I didn't get a full dosage. I caught it, called the pharmacy and said look I'll bring the pen in and show you. It took a while but the mfr send me a certificate for a new pen. You really need to make sure your pen isn't jamming. I've found that if the bayetta pen is really cold this happens.

I take a Kaschi frozen dinner to work. This has helped me with my glucose level too. When I get home from work I'm usually around 130. You need to get some excercise too, there is no way around it. I'm an IT guy, sometimes people ask for help during lunch, now I say I will look at it when I get back from my walk. If they ask again I tell them again, after my walk, I need to watch my glucose.

When you get home, before or after supper go for another walk.

I have found if I do this my glucose levels stay within the normal range. If I just take my meds, have lunch from the work cafateria, and don't workout, heck my glucose will be 178 or so when I get home.

I know Metformin works great with Bayetta, maybe you need to ask about that. I take 1 500 in the morning and two 500 at night.
