What Experts Say

Vildagliptin works by protecting natural gut hormones called incretins, which increase insulin release after meals and reduce excess glucose from the liver. This helps control blood sugar mainly when it tends to rise, around eating.

A useful feature of this class is that it rarely causes low blood sugar on its own and is generally weight neutral. It is usually taken once or twice daily and can be combined with other diabetes medicines for better control.

Doctors may check liver function during treatment and advise patients to keep up healthy eating and activity. Because the risk of low blood sugar rises when combined with insulin or sulfonylureas, patients should know its warning signs.
