Active Comparator: normal GLP-1 arm Subjects are required to take oral 100mg Sitagliptin ( Januvia) daily before breakfast for 12 weeks. 100mg is the recommended treatment dose. During the treatment with Januvia, subjects are not allowed to take any other medications except metformin |
Drug: Sitagliptin
oral 100mg Sitagliptin daily will be given for 12 weeks. Subjects are required to undergo OGTT pre and post treatment.
