Dear sir I understand your concern.
I am sorry to hear you have been having difficulties getting your blood sugar in the normal range now. I am very happy you are this conscientious because having a well controlled blood sugar is very important in preventing the onset of diabetic complications.
Regarding this medicine sitagliptin its a new medication and having many good benefits on your beta cells of pancreas.this medicine also decreases your hunger and control your food input.
so in my opinion stopping this drug is not a good idea.
I honestly hope this helps you as you work towards identifying the best drug and dosages for your diabetes. Feel free to come back if you need more information.
I wish you good health
Best Regards.
