[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1371961, member: 85785"] If you want to know how sitagliptin works, have a read on medical sites. In a nutshell, it is a dpp4 inhibitor, it helps lower the high readings post prandial by changing the glucogenesis from your meals. It changes the chemistry of your glucose to help lower your blood glucose levels. In layman's terms, it helps reduce your post prandial spike, therefore your two hourly reading will be much better. It reduces the blood glucose levels steadily. Avoiding eventually the high blood glucose levels that will cause the horrible problems down the line! But, to help the meds work, you will have to do the low carb as it seems your tolerance to them is high! You do need to keep battling on! I had years of ignorance to my symptoms, I was lucky enough to find an endocrinologist who diagnosed me properly! I would certainly insist on getting a referral, most GPs haven't got a clue about metabolic conditions! [/QUOTE]
