[QUOTE="Kaz261, post: 1004022, member: 220230"] Thanks Nosher. I can't remember exactly what he said about Sitagliptin but I think it slows down digestion and therefore slows down the release of glucose, which helps to prevent the blood glucose spike. As a result though, you feel fuller for longer and don't need to eat as much. Apologies if I have that wrong, but I think that was the gist of it. I don't want to take any med at the minute if I can help it. I tend to get side effects from everything I take so it puts me off! I really don't think I need it. My fasting bg is mostly low to mid 5's (down from high 5's) and my 2 hour post meal readings are mostly 6's or 5's with the odd 7. I do sometimes spike higher than I'd like at 1 hour, but I am still experimenting so I can't get it right every time! Thanks to you giving me a little "talking to" a while ago, I feel much less anxious about it all. I still get stressed when I get confusing results, but I try to tell myself that some days will be like that and tomorrow will be better! x [/QUOTE]
