A member asked:
Is the glipizide more effective than glyburide and januvia (sitagliptin)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Depending on how high your initial sugar levels are all 3 will lower the a1c about 0.3-1.0%. Glyburide is a poor choice for people with kidney problems and januvia (sitagliptin) is expensive. Most guidelines suggest beginning with metformin. Talk to your doctor.
