[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1808764, member: 429870"] I have no idea about Sitagliptin, but in your place I would keep the Metformin until my bgs were a lot lower, unless it was causing me a lot of digestive problems, and even then I would try going back to the lowest possible dose and building up gradually again. My latest A1c was also 38, but I'd much prefer to see it at 34 or even lower. My fasting bg is usually at present in the low 5s, and again I'd prefer it to be nearer the supposed "normal" reading of 4.7. PS if Sitagliptin puts you at risk of hypos, maybe you can't aim to get your bgs too low while you are taking it? Metformin alone doesn't carry that risk. [/QUOTE]
