[COLOR="DarkSlateBlue"]Hi Everyone :wave:

I was Dx as having pre-diabetes a couple of months back. My doc put me on Januvia 100mg every morning, and apparently it is working pretty well. While I have had some higher readings on the med, I have also been sick - which I understand affects blood sugars. I test my BG on average of two-three times a day (depending).. Well, I am on Medicare, and found out that Medicare will not cover the Januvia, so my doc called in a prescription for Actos (which when I finish the Januvia I will start the Actos)

I was wondering what your experiences with Actos are? Have any of you switched from Januvia to Actos. What are the benfits? Any drawbacks? Any info much appreciated! Thanks :)

I don't have any experience with Januvia, and my experience with Actos is about 3 years in the past, now. But it was very good. I had no side effects and my sugars were well-controlled with Actos and a good diet for about 3 years running. I have since progressed to insulin-dependence, I have been diagnosed with type II for about 17 years now.
