I was on Januvia for 12 months and it really did not change my numbers at all. Started with lantus, aprida and Victoza after that and my numbers improved. When Invokana came out in Canada two years ago I tryed that and my A1c went from 7.9 to 5.9 . It worked well when I applied myself ie: being realistic about my diabetes-.A better diet.ect ect. I was on 30 units Lantus per day, 6 units (aprox) Aprida per meal and Invokana . Any medication you start on is going to take a week or two to start becoming effective. And of course, there’s no real miracle pill that you can take and forget about diabetes. It takes work. Invokana is free for the first six months from the makers (in Canada - not sure about other Country’s though? ) I have since stopped all pills and am on a pump now. I was never a fan of any of the pills as there is always a chance of long term side affects. Hope this helps–Good luck!
