[A new therapeutic possibility for type 2 diabetes: DPP-4 inhibitors (sitagliptin)].
Type 2 diabetes is a very common worldwide disorder. A good glycemic control is reduce the rates of diabetes associated microvascular and possibly macrovascular complications. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors such as sitagliptin demonstrate an incretin based, glucose-dependent actions with low risk of hypoglycemia and no weight gain during the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes.
