What is Januvia?
Januvia, along with diet and exercise, is used to lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It is taken once daily and is a type of prescription medicine known as a DPP- 4 inhibitor. DPP-4 inhibitors increase the body’s ability to control blood sugar levels.
Taking Januvia can help your body do two things:
- Increase insulin when blood sugar is high, especially after you eat. This is when the body needs the most help in lowering blood sugar.
- Reduce the amount of sugar made by your liver after you eat, when your body doesn’t need it.
