Hi. No, the tabelst do different things. The Metformin helps reduce insulin resistance thru excess weight and has a small effect on blood sugar. The gliptin family increases the time after a meal that the pancreas produces insulin. The gliptins are more useful if you are not noticeably overweight. Either way, a low-carb diet will always be the highest priority.

Gliptin increase insulin production to get rid of more glucose and glucagon in your blood, so low carbing is essential to help your pancreas. They are called inhibitors, they inhibit the production of certain hormones to enable the insulin you produce works better.
