First of all both sitagliptin and metformin doesnt cause hypoglycemia i.e sugar less than 70 mg/dl, they are very safe drugs. Moreover diabetes management has now changed from glucocentric to individual centric treatment model. She requires further evaluation like LDL-C ASCVD risk assessment and holistic management
