- Faq for medicine:
- Q. What does Gluconorm SR 1gm Tablet do exactly? People with type 2 diabetes are not able to make enough insulin or respond normally to the insulin made by their bodies. When this happens, the concentration of sugar/glucose increases in the blood. Gluconorm SR 1gm Tablet acts in several ways to reduce the increased levels of sugar in the blood. Gluconorm SR 1gm Tablet decreases glucose production from the liver and decreases absorption of glucose from the intestine after taking food while improving the sensitivity of the body organs and muscles towards insulin. This helps improve the uptake of glucose from the blood. It also helps your body to respond better to the insulin it makes naturally. Q. Does Gluconorm SR 1gm Tablet cause weight loss? Yes, Gluconorm SR 1gm Tablet has been shown to cause weight loss in people who are overweight or obese. It may also cause a modest loss in weight in those overweight and obese individuals who are at risk for diabetes. Besides, patients who are sensitive or resistant to insulin may also show weight loss. But, do not start taking this medicine for weight loss on your own. Consult your doctor for the same.
