Question
Chapter 22.6, Problem 19CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The use of sitagliptin in the treatment of diabetes.
Introduction: Diabetes is categorized into two types: type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is insulin dependent diabetes. People who have diabetes have reduced the production of insulin in their body leading to a delayed response to ingested glucose. In some cases, both resistance to insulin as well as reduced secretion of insulin is seen.
