      I take Janumet which is a blend of Januvia and metformin, and have taken it for 10 years. My blood sugar levels are OK and I have no side effects.

        My prescription for Janumet ( Sitagliptine/ chlorhydrateof metformin) was from the doctor, and I also take gliclazide 30mg and atorvastatin.
        Hec, if your Dr won't prescribe it, you might be able to obtain it on-line from Canada though there is a risk with this owing to possibly impure products.

        I'm right there with you. Make sure you get bloodwork done every once and a while. It does work well for me . I also take an extra metformin tablet , by doctor order . Be careful with the statin drug. I was told to take coenzyme q 10 supplement too. So far so good.
