I am 65 years and am controlling sugar since 25 years. Seeing slight increasing trend in HbA1C six months before (6.3 to 6.7), I consulted my endocrinologist and he increased dose of Glitaris M7. 5 tablet from half to one daily, and introduced one additional tablet Januvia 100 mg. This change brought down HbA1C back to 6.3. However, when I started taking Januvia, initially I had burning feeling in chest. It was temporary and I continued with Januvia. Recently (about one month back), I started having problem in swallowing solid food. I took a course of Gannamod tablets (20) and now I am practicing change in life style like keeping gap of 2 hours between dinner and bed. However, I am not quite comfortable with this and have developed anxiety for eating. I read that Januvia has side effect of acid reflux. Nevertheless, my endocrinologist told me that there is no such side effect due to Januvia and I should continue with the course. I request you to please confirm this.

What is more important is to have a fair control ( avoid trying to get perfect control ). The body keeps changing and adjusting itself. Give sufficient time for the body to heal naturally. The stress ( anticipation ) can also contribute to many minor problems. Learn to relax by doing something creative ( or learn Yoga and pranayam/ meditation ). You will observe that by following a healthy lifestyle without much anxiety , your need for medications will reduce naturally in the long run. So continue going for the follow up and focus on keeping yourself active and pleasant.
