Glizid Xr 30 Tablet 10

Glizid XR 30 Tablet is used for the following:

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus: This is a condition where the body doesn't use insulin properly, leading to high blood sugar levels.

Glizid XR 30 Tablet contains gliclazide (30 mg). Here's how this active ingredient works:

• Blocks ATP Sensitive Potassium Channels: Gliclazide blocks certain channels on the beta cells of your pancreas. These channels are responsible for controlling the flow of potassium ions in and out of cells.

• Stimulates Insulin Secretion: By blocking these channels, gliclazide causes an increase in calcium ions within the beta cells. This triggers these cells to release more insulin into your bloodstream.

• Increases Insulin Sensitivity: Not only does gliclazide stimulate insulin secretion, but it also makes your body's tissues more responsive to insulin.

• Inhibits Hepatic Glucose Production: Finally, gliclazide helps reduce the amount of glucose that your liver produces. This further helps control your blood sugar levels.

• Regular physical activity is key in managing type 2 diabetes. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise like brisk walking each week.

• Adopt a balanced diet that's low in sugar and saturated fats. Focus on high-fibre foods, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, which can help control your blood sugar levels.
