Yes it does. Hubby has Type II and sometimes he ‘avoids’ testing. He takes Metformin, and Actos (which is quite costly).

The first month that I was discharged from the hospital, they had me on Januvia in addition to the other meds. That stuff worked very well for me... but it cost $200/month so I'm getting by without it. My tests noticeably fluctuate a lot more when I stopped the Januvia, but still very much within the recommended control range, so I'm not really risking death by giving up on a $200/month med.
