Januvia - helping or not really?

I started taking Januvia back in October instead of Byetta with my
metformin. My A1C went from 6.9 to 7.0

Should I go back to the Byetta? Not having the 2 shots a day is great, but I
want the best control possible given my eating habits (ok, but not very
great)......

I used to have bg's between 90-130 , now they never ever go below 110 and
are usually around 130-140. But my A1c didn't take that kind of hit so I'm
not as worried as would be.

??

btw - 43 yr, I look like I'm about 230, but am actually 280 lbs - I hold it
well, but my body states otherwise.....

It certainly does at 7%. I can't comment on either med. I'm
just wondering why you seem to be saying your eating habits
are not in the treatment mix.
