The latter results in far fewer stomach problems. Note that Glic has a completely different way that it works from Met. Met works on the liver and bowel reducing both glucose release and increasing muscle take-up of insulin etc. It is best for those with insulin resistance and who are overweight. Glic is more relevant if you have a partially knackered pancreas as it stimulates the islet cells to produce more insulin. Hanadar you are lucky to be able to control your db without heavy medication and long may it continue. Some of us just have to have multiple meds as well as a low carb diet. Note that Sitagliptin is a relatively new drug and can be very useful if a bit expensive.</p></blockquote><p></p>
