You are mentioning t1 dm and taking treatment with oral drugs, then the condition must be t2dm, because t1 can only be treated with insulin injections. What new product are you referring? can you be specific? if you are talking about sitagliptin or vildagliptin with metformin, this could be quite useful to you too.
