However, the retail cost of these popular medications can be steep, often exceeding $600 per month, which puts them out of reach for many individuals.

How Sitagliptin Works
To understand how sitagliptin works, it's essential to know the body's natural response to food.
As you digest food, your body releases an incretin hormone known as GLP-1. This hormone plays a critical role in lowering blood sugar by signaling the pancreas to produce more insulin and informing the brain that you're full, which helps control appetite.
However, GLP-1 doesn't last long in the bloodstream because the DPP-4 enzyme rapidly breaks it down. Sitagliptin comes into play by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, preventing GLP-1 from being broken down too quickly. This action allows GLP-1 to remain in the bloodstream longer, providing it more time to effectively manage blood sugar levels and maintain a feeling of fullness.
What's unique about sitagliptin is its ability to adapt to the body's fluctuating needs. It intensifies its blood sugar-lowering efforts when levels are elevated and moderates when they are lower, minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia (excessively low blood sugar). This adaptability makes sitagliptin an effective and safe option for blood sugar regulation.
