I was taking another medication for my Diabetes but it caused me to have yeast infections. So my Dr. changed me to Tradjenta 1 x daily. Went back to see Dr. And my A1C was up to 8.7, so he increased medication to 2 x daily, now I have blisters and i'm itching a lot. Have to call the Dr.about this. Been on 2 x daily now for 45 days.

Been on it for 2 weeks and my glucose is staying above 250, I keep having to take more insulin to bring it back down and then it goes right back . I was doing better with just the insulin by itself 6.1 to 7.1 a1c, varied every 3 months, hate to see how high it is now, every morning I wake up it's 350 or higher and 150 when I go to bed. Calling my doctor tomorrow

It did nothing to lower my sugar but my A1c went up! It is a waste of my money as Medicare doesn't cover it.

Comment from: Paul 65-74 Transgender 1 to 6 months Caregiver Published: September 24

My A1c skyrocketed after being on this. My Dr should never have put me on it.

I have been taking this drug for a year with terrific results. A1C dropped 2 points. Couldn't be happier and now my insurance doesn't want to cover it. I am very nervous to try anything else.

Comment from: Harry 45-54 Male 1 to 6 months Patient Published: August 15

As my doctor has been increasing my dosage my diabetes has gone up. I was doing well at 7.0 but doctor changed me from Actors to few alternative drugs in the name of improving. Now I am on Trajenta and he recently increased the dosage and it has now shot up to staying above 12.5 on an average. I don't this this is helping me at all.

Comment from: Pippin 75 or over Female 1 to 6 months Patient Published: July 14

After a two week trial my blood sugar readings were very good so it was used instead of taking insulin before each meal. Once a day Trajenta and one shot of long lasting insulin and things are fine.

Comment from: JeffM 55-64 Male 1 to 6 months Patient Published: February 10

My numbers have only gone higher! I have been on Tradgenta for 6 weeks, now.

Comment from: D J Thomas 75 or over Female 1 to 6 months Patient Published: January 13

I've been taking this medicine for 3 months. My glucose test results have over 200 the entire time. Even fasting in the AM. My Doctor continues to insist I take it and I cant understand why. I am changing Doctors

Comment from: itschelle28 25-34 Female Patient Published: October 09

I took this medicine for a month and a half. My heart started racing, shortness of breath lightheadedness and tightness in my throat I also was sweating like crazy.

Comment from: 45-54 Female less than 1 month Patient Published: September 19

I've notied that my glucose have been higher since taking this. I've also been starting to have abdominal pains. Not effective at all in my opinion.

Comment from: Harry Balz 45-54 Female 1 to 6 months Patient Published: May 30

I was pleased when my pcp recently added this to my metformin and lantus (insulin). I'm almost surprised that I'm getting it as it's very expensive. However my glucose numbers have been way above normal lately. I guess that I wanted to believe that I could get away with being less strict with my diet. From what I can see this drug is not what I would call highly effective. You would be better off spending the money on a gym membership than this expensive ineffective medication, in my opinion.

Comment from: Clemson#1fan 45-54 Female 1 to 6 months Patient Published: May 17

I have been taking this for a month. My levels have been in the lower 200's in the am and 197's in the afternoon after I eat. 150'S after I walk 2.5 miles a day. I am very active. I've lost 13lbs with diet and exercise. My levels do not seem to be going down. I have had some abdominal issues too. Concerned I am seeing my doctor this Friday for a follow up. Anyone else having the same problem?

Comment from: brasolo 35-44 Female less than 1 month Patient Published: January 13

I took this drug for a week and a half before fulling my prescription due to the 'few' potential side effects. I rarely have any but was sure that this was enough time for me to have started showing symptoms. I was very wrong. I had not met my deductible so I paid nearly $400 for the prescription. By the next day I had abdominal pain and within three days pancreatitis. I never even opened that bottle of pills. My doctor is another issue but I will NEVER take this medicine again.
