Hi
@Jacko5758 ,
I was on the gliptin for about eight years. And no side effects.
It is a dpp4 inhibitor.
The drug is designed to help with first phase insulin response to the glucose derived from food.
Most T2s have insulin resistance and this means your spike is too high and over time increases hba1c levels.
The drug will lower that spike.
Along with a low carb diet, better control of your BG levels will improve things.
It doesn't mean you can have more carbs.
Best wishes.
