I started taking this medication on July 1, 2014. On July 4th a rash developed on my face and neck. I phoned into the advise nurse who told me to stop taking the medication and they will make a call to my doctor. I found out a rash was one of the serious size effects. It has kept my sugar levels down though.

This drug works the best when I keep active. I do not get low numbers like I did before with my old medication and have to eat between meals. I can eat much less food and loose weight.

October 23, 2011 .After six days I got a reaction that was so bad I landed up in the hospital for five days. Total body rash, peeling and blisters, even in mouth. Doctors couldn't even believe it the reaction was so bad. I have never had a allergic reaction to anything before.

I used Tradjenta Oral "without any improvement" in my blood sugar readings whatsoever. My readings skyrocketed to the high 200's and 300's There was "NO" improvement, even eating low carb foods at 60 or less grams per day.
