Q: I have been on Avandia for the past several years, since the took Rezulin off the market. Now, they have taken Avandia off,too. What other medication is as good as these that I could be using?

My doctor has put me on Januvia, but it isn't working as well as Avandia did.

What is on the market that is comparible to Avandia? Should I be asking my doctor about a combination of drugs?
