Newly diagnosed first post


I guess you are spelling the name of drug wrong, It is sitagliptin. I don't have any experience with sitagliptin as I've been only prescribed metformin, however, I guess this https://zovon.com/drugs/drug-by-condition/drugs-treating-type-ii-diabetes/ can help because I guess this blog just made an encyclopedia of drugs used for diabetes.
 
Hi all had a call today and was advised my c-peptide was fine and I was negative for celiac too. Everything points to type 2 so depending on the appointment tomorrow with the gastroenterologist they will be treating me for type 2 and may end of treating with either diet or sitaglyptin.
 
At least you know the plan now. Hope it all goes well.
 
I thought metformin was the drug of choice for new T2s????
Good that you've got a definite diagnosis.

Hi EllieM it is correct that metformin is the starter medication. I was put on them and had a really bad reaction so had to stop taking them.
