Overview Glimiwel-VG2 Tablet ER

DiaBeta-XR is an antidiabetic medication, a combination drug for adult-onset type 2 diabetes. It effectively manages blood glucose levels. DiaBeta-XR should be ingested with meals, consistently at the same time daily for optimal results. Dosage is determined by your physician and may adjust based on your glucose readings. Continuous use is crucial; discontinuation without physician consultation can lead to elevated blood sugar, risking kidney complications, vision loss, neuropathy, and limb amputation. DiaBeta-XR complements a comprehensive diabetes management plan involving diet, exercise, and weight management as directed by your doctor. Lifestyle choices significantly influence diabetes control. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is the most frequent adverse effect, characterized by sweating, dizziness, headache, and tremors. Learn to identify and manage these symptoms; maintain regular meals and carry readily available glucose, such as sweets or juice. Alcohol consumption increases hypoglycemia risk and should be limited. Other potential side effects include altered taste, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, swelling, blurred vision, fractures, and upper respiratory infections. Weight gain may occur. DiaBeta-XR is contraindicated for type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, and severe hepatic or renal impairment. Prior heart conditions should be disclosed to your doctor before commencing treatment. Consult your doctor before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Regular blood glucose monitoring, along with blood tests to track blood cell counts and liver function, are recommended.
