What is DPP-4 Inhibitors in Type 2 Diabetes about?

Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors are oral medications used as add-on therapy for type 2 diabetes, primarily enhancing glucose-dependent insulin secretion and reducing postprandial glucagon. They are not the first-line treatment and should be avoided in patients with cardiovascular or kidney disease due to lack of protective effects. DPP-4 inhibitors have a modest effect on glycemic control and can be combined with various other diabetes medications, but not with GLP-1 receptor agonists.
