New drug
A new drug has just been approved for use in Australia. SITAGLIPTIN (Januvia) is an oral drug for type 2 Diabetes mellitus. It is a new class of drug, a dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP-4) inhibitor. Sitagliptin is an 'incretin enhancer' that increases the levels of active incretin by inhibiting their metabolism by DPP-4, thus prolonging their effect in stimulating insulin release and decreasing glucagon secretion.

Thanks to the efforts of College staff, we have saved a massive 15 per cent greenhouse gas emissions over the last six months compared to last year. A lot of this can be attributed to turning off lights and switching to energy efficient flourescent light globes. The impact has been significant.
