[QUOTE="cugila, post: 102886, member: 15325"] [b]Re: Anyone use Byetta?[/b] Hi LG. Januvia (Sitagliptin). Sitagliptin inhibits dipeptidylpeptidase-4 to increase insulin secretion and lower glucagon secretion. It is usually used in Type 2 Diabetes in combination with metformin or a sulphonylurea (if metformin inappropriate) or a thiazolidinedione, when treatment with either metformin or a sulphonylurea or a thiazolidinedione fails to achieve adequate glycaemic control. Sitagliptin is also used in combination with both metformin and a sulphonylurea when dual therapy with these drugs fails to achieve adequate glycaemic control. NICE has recommended that treatment with sitagliptin is continued only if HbA1c concentration is reduced by at least 0.5% within 6 months of starting treatment. As your Consultant stated, not a miracle cure, just another drug in the anti Diabetic armoury. Hope this drug helps you. [/QUOTE]
