studies have shown a 0.6% A1C decrease after approximately 6 months of sitagliptin or alogliptin therapy, compared with 0.5% for saxagliptin and 0.4% for linagliptin
There are companies that are making a lot of revenue by prescribing compounded versions of GLP-1s, and they might try to find some way to continue to do that, agrees Wood
