Algoliptin

[taunty]

Hi is anyone on this drug? I’ve been on it a week and not noticed much difference in my numbers. Am feeling very down about trying to control it. I thought I was doing well then the number shot up to 71 on a 3 monthly test. Has anyone successfully come off algoliptin?
Thx
Lesley

Alogliptin is a type of diabetic drug in the Gliptin range of medication.
The use of this drug is to stimulate insulin response to the glucose derived from a meal. It is usually given to T2s, who have an initial insulin response is weak because of insulin resistance.
It is usually given to T2 patients who are struggling to control blood sugar levels, or those that other meds have had side effects.
It works for some and not for others, time is usually given to see if it has an effect.

A low carb diet would help as well!

My wife was on alogliptin, because of pain meds, it didn't work in the long run.
She has since been given another medication, which has had some good results.

I am on sitagliptin, I have not had any problems with either taking or side effects.
It helps with my own personal battle with blood sugar levels.

Do give it a chance!
You only get your Hba1c test results every six months.

Best wishes

Hi I was offered alogliptin by my DRs, I took it daily for 2 months and during that time continued to test my sugars which ran in the teens throughout. I went back and said it wasn’t working, and stopped taking that med.
I think it’s often used alongside another med. For me it didn’t make any difference to my bs readings sadly. But we are all different. Good luck can be a case of trial and error and patience.
