Drug Approvals
- Sitagliptin (Januvia), the first in a new class of diabetes drugs called DPP-4 inhibitors, was approved in 2006.
- Janumet, a 2-in-1 pill that contains both sitagliptin and metformin, was approved in 2007.
- These drugs are taken by mouth and may be more convenient for patients than exenatide (Byetta), a similar drug. DPP-4 inhibitors do not cause weight gain and may pose a lower risk for hypoglycemia than some other diabetes drugs.

Rosiglitazone (Avandia) may significantly increase the risk for heart attack, indicates a review published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. In 2007, a panel of experts from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agreed the drug increases the risk of heart attacks -- but concluded it should remain on the market.
