Novonorm 1 mg, reduces blood sugar levels and protects against diabetic complications - 30 tablets

Repaglinide works by binding to its receptors in the beta cells of the pancreas, stimulating insulin secretion.

Repaglinide is a medicine that helps the pancreas produce more insulin and thus lower blood sugar (glucose) levels.
Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which your pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin to control your blood sugar or where your body doesn't respond normally to the insulin it produces.
Repaglinide is used to control type 2 diabetes in adults as an addition to diet and exercise.

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Consult your doctor if you are not sure.
The usual starting dose is 0.5 mg before each main meal. Swallow the tablets with a glass of water immediately before or up to 30 minutes before each main meal.
The dose may be adjusted by your doctor up to 4 mg to be taken immediately before or up to 30 minutes before each main meal.
The maximum recommended daily dose is 16 mg.
Doses may be changed under special circumstances, so always follow your doctor or pharmacist's instructions.

Although the following side effects are not common to everyone, some patients may complain of the following:

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
Your doctor will discuss the potential risks and benefits of using this medication during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

All carbohydrates affect blood glucose levels, so it's important to know which foods contain carbohydrates. Choose healthy carbohydrate-containing foods and be aware of the portion size (amount of carbohydrates) required.
Reduce your salt intake. Eating too much salt can increase your risk of high blood pressure, which in turn increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. When you have diabetes, you're already at greater risk for all of these conditions.
Eat more fruits and vegetables. This can help you get the vitamins, minerals, and fiber your body needs daily to maintain your health.
You can always try low-calorie or no-calorie sweeteners (also known as artificial sweeteners) to help you cut down on sugar, for example Steviana, Sugar Free or Tropicana Artificial Sweetener.
Don't forget to keep moving. Being more active helps you control your blood sugar levels.
Remember to measure your blood glucose level regularly using home devices such as Accu-Chek, Instant, or a blood glucose meter.
Thiozac capsules and Neurobion tablets will help you reduce nerve problems caused by diabetes.
If you experience symptoms of low blood sugar such as weakness, dizziness, increased sweating, rapid heartbeat, blurred vision, or difficulty concentrating, eating or drinking something containing sugar usually helps.

If you have liver problems.
If you have kidney problems, repaglinide should be taken with caution.
If you are about to have major surgery or have recently suffered from a serious illness.
If you are under 18 years of age or over 75 years of age.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines, including non-prescription medicines, prescription medicines, herbal supplements, vitamins and nutritional supplements.

Random blood sugar test: A blood sample will be taken at a random time. Regardless of when you last ate, a blood sugar level of 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or higher indicates diabetes. A blood sugar level below 140 mg/dL is considered normal, and a reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL indicates diabetes risk.
Fasting blood sugar test. A blood sample will be taken after you fast overnight. A fasting blood sugar level below 100 mg/dL is normal. A fasting blood sugar level between 100 and 125 mg/dL is considered prediabetes. If your blood sugar is 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests, you may have diabetes.
Oral glucose tolerance test: For this test, you fast overnight, and your fasting blood sugar level is measured. You then drink a sugary liquid, and your blood sugar levels are tested periodically for the next two hours.
