DESCRIPTION
Diaformin’s intended usage
Diaformin is used to manage blood glucose levels in those with diabetes mellitus (the level of sugar in the blood).
Diaformin is a medication that can treat type 2 diabetes in adults and children older than 10 years old. When diet and exercise are insufficient to reduce high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia), it is particularly helpful for persons who are overweight. Metformin can be used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults either alone, in conjunction with other oral diabetic medications, or in combination with insulin.
Diaformin action
The drug diaformin is a member of the biguanide class of medications.
Diaformin decreases high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) by assisting your body in utilizing the insulin your pancreas produces more effectively.
Diaformin decreases high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) by assisting your body in utilizing the insulin your pancreas produces more effectively.
Type 2 diabetics’ bodies either can’t produce enough insulin or can’t use the insulin they do produce efficiently. Due to the accumulation of glucose in the blood, this can have detrimental health effects.
Long-term hyperglycemia can cause gangrene, kidney damage, blindness, heart disease, and kidney damage.
