How it works
Tendia-P Tablet is a combination of two antidiabetic medications. Teneligliptin increases the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreases the hormone (glucagon) that raises blood sugar levels. This reduces the fasting and post meal sugar levels. Pioglitazone works by increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.

Yes, individuals with diabetes should include proteins as part of a balanced diet alongside other essential nutrients. Protein serves as a major source of energy and is crucial for the body's structure. It also breaks down into glucose to release energy.

While some spike may occur after consuming high-protein meals several hours later, it is generally recommended to consume around 2-3 teaspoons of protein in evening snacks to prevent hypoglycemia.

No, artificial sweeteners are not recommended for individuals with diabetes. They contain chemicals that can cause side effects ranging from mild to severe.

Yes, uncontrolled diabetes can increase the risk of kidney failure. Over time, diabetes can damage kidneys, leading to a condition called diabetic nephropathy. This is a significant cause of kidney failure in individuals with diabetes. It's vital to control blood sugar levels by following prescribed treatment plans, dietary changes, regular monitoring of glucose levels, and taking medication as directed.
Is diabetes curable?
Diabetes is a condition that affects blood glucose levels. If left uncontrolled, it can lead to serious complications affecting the heart, brain, kidneys, and eyes.
