Product name Ganiomete 850/50, reduces blood sugar level and protects from diabetes complications - 56 tablets. Scientific name Sitagliptin 50 mg + Metformin 850 mg tablets. Ganiomete 850/50 tablets belong to oral diabetes medications. Mechanism of action Sitagliptin and Metformin. Saxagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor, an enzyme that breaks down incretin hormones including the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Incretin helps the body produce more insulin only when needed and reduce the amount of glucose produced by the liver. Metformin reduces blood glucose levels by decreasing glucose production in the liver. Metformin decreases intestinal absorption of glucose. Metformin increases insulin sensitivity, leading to increased glucose absorption and utilization. Medical uses Ganiomete 850/50 tablets are used to treat a type of diabetes called "Type 2 Diabetes." Sitagliptin and Metformin work together to control blood sugar levels. They increase insulin levels after meals. They also reduce the amount of sugar your body makes in the liver. Along with diet and exercise, this medication helps lower blood sugar. This medication can be used alone or with other anti-diabetic medications, including insulin.

Useful tips for diabetics All carbohydrates affect blood glucose levels, so it is important to know which foods contain carbohydrates. Choose healthy foods that contain carbohydrates and be aware of the portion size (the amount of carbohydrates) needed. Reduce salt intake. Eating too much salt can increase the risk of high blood pressure, which in turn increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. When you have diabetes, you are already more susceptible to these conditions. Eat more fruits and vegetables. This can help you get the vitamins, minerals, and fiber your body needs daily to stay healthy. You can always try low-calorie or calorie-free sweeteners (also known as artificial sweeteners) to help reduce sugar, for example Stevia, local sugar, or Tropicana artificial sweetener. Don’t forget to stay active. Being more active helps you control your blood sugar levels. Remember to continuously monitor blood glucose levels using home devices like Accu-Chek, Instant, blood sugar meter, Thiozack capsules, and Neurobion tablets. They will help you reduce nerve problems caused by diabetes. If you experience symptoms of hypoglycemia such as weakness, dizziness, increased sweating, rapid heartbeat, vision disturbances, or difficulty concentrating, usually eating or drinking something containing sugar helps.
