Can Sitagliptin be given in prediabetes
Can sitagliptin/metformin 50/500 1 tab once day be given to patient in prediabetic range? 72 year, weight 52 kg. Hba1c is 6.4. FBS remains normal. PPBS around 130-140-143. Has early compensated liver cirrhosis. Normal creatinine. Hypertension. Dr who prescribed also said to increase the dose. I hv heard prediabetes can b managed on metformin alone but not sure. No proper response from dr. Please tell whether or not sitagliptin/metformin is right drug and dose for her n her condition??🙏🏻 BP remains high. Can it pose any risk if u consider it over treated.
