Measure
Metformin
All newly diagnosed subjects with KPDM that are able to discontinue insulin after 12 weeks or less will be randomized in double-blind fashion to receive either metformin 1000mg, sitagliptin 100mg or placebo once daily. Subjects that do not achieve remission will continue to receive insulin therapy and will discontinue the protocol. A total of 48 obese subjects with DKA (N=24) and obese subjects with hyperglycemia without ketoacidosis (n=24) will be equally randomized to receive metformin (MET) 1000 mg (n=16), sitagliptin (SIT) 100mg (n=16) or placebo (n=16). metformin: The study subject will receive metformin (MET) 1000 mg tablet once a day as long as the patient maintains near-normoglycemic remission (BG \< 130mg/dL and A1c \<7%) during the 3-year follow-up period.
Sitagliptin

Subjects that do not achieve remission will continue to receive insulin therapy and will discontinue the protocol. A total of 48 obese subjects with DKA (N=24) and obese subjects with hyperglycemia without ketoacidosis (n=24) will be equally randomized to receive metformin (MET) 1000 mg (n=16), sitagliptin (SIT) 100mg (n=16) or placebo (n=16). Sitagliptin: The study subject will receive a sitagliptin 100mg once a day as long as the patient maintains near-normoglycemic remission (BG \< 130mg/dL and A1c \<7%) during the 3-year follow-up period.
Placebo
All newly diagnosed subjects with KPDM that are able to discontinue insulin after 12 weeks or less will be randomized in double-blind fashion to receive either metformin 1000 mg, sitagliptin 100mg or placebo once daily.
