Treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitusTreatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus

In Treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus GLIPIPEN-5 works by increasing the amount of insulin your body produces (in the pancreas). The insulin then works to lower your blood glucose level.

If you can control the level you will reduce the risk of getting any of the serious complications of diabetes such as kidney damage, eye damage, nerve problems, and loss of limbs. Taking this medicine regularly along with proper diet and exercise will help you live a normal, healthy life.In Treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus GLIPIPEN-5 works by increasing the amount of insulin your body produces (in the pancreas).
