In Type 1 diabetes, the body's immune system destroys insulin-producing cells, requiring lifelong insulin therapy. In Type 2 diabetes, the body becomes resistant to insulin, which is often managed with lifestyle changes and oral medications. Trajenta (linagliptin) 5 mg is a safe, well-tolerated, and effective daily tablet, but it is prescribed exclusively for Type 2 diabetes, not Type 1. It helps your pancreas release more insulin after meals. While it has a low risk of causing low blood sugar, you must consult your doctor to ensure it is safe for your specific health profile, especially if you have a history of pancreatitis.
