Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Eligibility:

All Genders

20-70 years

Phase:

PHASE4

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to confirm the mechanism of reduced response to DPP-4 inhibitor in some patients with type 2 diabetes and evaluate appropriate patients to treat with DPP-4 inhibitor

Detailed Description

Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor was used as an incretin enhancer in clinical practice first. In clinical trials, sitagliptin showed effective control of blood glucose level in type 2 diabetes and 100 m...
