Can anyone give me information on Stiagliptin please, my friends mother has been put on 25mg a day, the mother refuses to be told she is diabetic, causing my friend a lot of problems.

I have been on Forxiga for the past 5 months but it has not taken my blood sugar reading down, Metformin did a better job but I always suffered from a bad stomach and that is why it was changed. Has anyone else had this problem with Forxiga.

My last blood test has come back as 61.

Thank you

Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor. That means it inhibits an enzyme that in turn normally shuts off insulin production after a meal. The drug therefore extends insulin production time reducing BS spikes. It is usually used in combination with other diabetes drugs.
