Glycoheal 500 mg contains the active ingredient Metformin. It decreases the amount of glucose (sugar) produced by the liver. In people with type 2 diabetes, the liver tends to produce too much glucose. This leads to high blood sugar levels.
Metformin helps the body’s cells become more sensitive to insulin. By increasing insulin sensitivity, metformin helps the cells use insulin more effectively. This allows them to take up and utilize glucose from the bloodstream. It promotes glucose uptake by muscles and decreases glucose absorption from the gut. These actions help lower and control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes: A chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia). This is due to the body’s inability to effectively use insulin. It is a hormone that regulates blood sugar.
