Sitagliptin is a drug used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes. It works by blocking the breakdown of incretins, which are hormones that help stimulate insulin production in response to rising blood glucose levels. By enhancing incretin levels, Sitagliptin helps to increase insulin secretion and reduce blood sugar levels. Additionally, Sitagliptin also slows down the rate at which food moves from the stomach to the intestine, helping to keep you full for longer and potentially leading to weight loss. Metformin is another common medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It works primarily by inhibiting the production of glucose from the liver. It does this by interfering with the energy production processes in liver cells. This means that these cells start to rely more on glucose as an energy source. This leads to lower glucose production and consequently lower blood sugar levels. Metformin also reduces glucose absorption in the intestines and enhances glucose uptake in muscle and fat tissues, which helps to further reduce blood sugar levels. When used in combination, Sitagliptin and Metformin work together to regulate insulin production and manage glucose metabolism, providing an effective treatment option for patients with type 2 diabetes who require help in managing their blood sugar levels.
