I've just been prescribed Alogliptin 6.25mg to help manage my type 2 diabetes. The doctor says it should help control my blood sugar levels, especially after meals. I've read about the side effects, and while most seem manageable, the urgent ones are concerning. Has anyone else had experience with this medication? Any tips on what to watch out for, or how to manage the more common side effects? Any professionals out there that can offer advice?

Low blood sugar has been a problem. I've had to carry around glucose tablets and snacks since starting the medication.

I switched to Alogliptin from another medication and haven't had any issues so far. Fingers crossed it stays that way! Just keep an eye on those severe side effects, as rare as they may be. And keep in touch! What's working for you all?

I had a bad reaction to a similar drug, so I’m a bit nervous. What is the advice for people wanting to report side effects?
