I'm confused - first posting. The image suggests that DPP-4 inhibits GLP-1, but the text says differently.

[edit] Deception or drug industry pushing?

Big question: I was recently sent to the E.R. on a unrelated to my type 2 diabetes, and they promptly hit me up with insulin (i take metformin), a week later i saw my G.P. and told her about my non desire not to be stuck with a injection jones the duration of my life. She looked at the Metformin doseage and said: This is the start up dose" and uped the mg's and i got time released new meds. I just read about Januvia and wonder what are these medical people thinking? If it's proven to assist the metformin, why has it been witheld from me? Why are they so anxious to see me shoot that insulin up at a hospital? Why didn't they try and raise my dose of metformin? I wasn't in trauma, i was sent there in case i needed a procedure that couldn't be done at my Gastro's shop. Im getting very frustrated with people who claim to be helping me and are taking shortcuts.
