How it works
Gliptagreat DM 10mg/500mg/100mg Tablet is a combination of three antidiabetic medicines. Dapagliflozin increases urinary glucose excretion and reduces blood glucose levels. Vildagliptin helps control blood sugar levels by increasing substances (incretins) in the body that make the pancreas release more insulin. It also signals the liver to stop producing sugar (glucose) when there is too much sugar in the blood. Metformin decreases the amount of glucose absorbed from your food and the amount of glucose made by the liver. It also increases the body's response to insulin.

Can people with diabetes have proteins?
Yes, people with diabetes must include protein along with other essential nutrients in their daily diet. Proteins are one of the major energy providers among all essential nutrients. Besides, being the building blocks of the human body, proteins break down into glucose to release energy. Unlike carbohydrates, the metabolism of proteins into glucose is much slower. Therefore, the release of energy usually takes a few hours after consumption. Thus, the spike in blood sugar levels might occur after a few hours when you are on a high-protein diet. It is often recommended to consume about 2-3 teaspoons of proteins in the evening snacks to avert the chances of hypoglycemia.
Are artificial sweeteners good for people with diabetes?
No, artificial sweeteners are not good for people with diabetes. They are composed of chemicals that can cause mild to severe side effects. Thus, it is better to limit or avoid their use as much as possible.
Can diabetes be cured?
Diabetes is a condition that causes changes in your blood glucose levels, which if left uncontrolled, can lead to serious health complications affecting the heart, brain, kidneys, and eyes. Although it cannot be cured permanently, with simple lifestyle changes, diet, and medications, one can manage their condition and live a healthy life.
Can diabetes be prevented?
Although there is no surefire way to prevent diabetes entirely, maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise, managing stress levels, getting enough sleep, and monitoring blood sugar levels regularly can all contribute to reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Can diabetes cause kidney damage?
Yes, diabetes can cause kidney damage over time. High blood sugar levels in people with diabetes can damage the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys, leading to a condition called diabetic nephropathy. This is a major cause of kidney failure in patients with diabetes.
