Glibaa Tablet 30's

Glibaa Tablet is used to treat type-2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong condition affecting how your body processes glucose. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or if the insulin is produced, it cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Thus, the blood glucose level increases and symptoms such as frequent urination increased thirst and increased hunger.

Glibaa Tablet contains Glibenclamide, which acts by increasing the amount of insulin released by the pancreas. It stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas and decreases blood sugar levels. In a nutshell, it prevents blood glucose levels from rising to very high levels, thus keeping your diabetes under control. Glibaa Tablet shows optimum effects when taken along with healthy lifestyle changes like weight loss, regular exercise, a healthy diet, etc.

Diabetes Mellitus type 2: It is a condition in which either the body stops producing enough insulin (the hormone which helps to decrease sugar levels in the blood) or is resistant to insulin action. As a result, excessive insulin is produced. Still, it fails to act on the organs of the body. Type 2 diabetes symptoms include feeling exhausted all the time, feeling thirsty, having blurry vision, and the urge to urinate (pee) more often. Complications of type 2 diabetes include skin infection, eye problems (retinopathy), nerve damage (neuropathy), diabetic foot (foot ulcer), kidney disease (nephropathy), high blood pressure and even stroke. Both low and high blood sugar levels can be dangerous and should be treated as soon as possible. Your HbA1c below 5.7% is normal, 5.7-6.4% confirms the prediabetes stage and 6.5% or greater states diabetes condition.
