Frequently asked questions
What are “gliptins” and “gliflozins”?
Gliptins (DPP-4 inhibitors, like linagliptin) gently improve insulin response; gliflozins (SGLT2 inhibitors, like canagliflozin) remove sugar via the urine and help the heart/kidneys.
Which diabetes tablet suits kidney disease?
Linagliptin needs no dose change in kidney disease, and some SGLT2 inhibitors protect the kidneys — your doctor chooses based on your kidney function.
