Diamicron 30 MR Tablet is used in the long-term management of type 2 diabetes in adults, helping control blood sugar levels throughout the day when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient.

Uses of Diamicron 30 MR Tablet are:

• Type 2 Diabetes Management: Helps control high blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Here's how you should take Diamicron MR Tablet:

• Take the tablet whole with a glass of water.

Diamicron MR Tablet is taken orally.

Diamicron MR Tablet contains gliclazide (30 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Stimulates insulin secretion: Gliclazide functions by encouraging insulin secretion from specific cells in your pancreas known as 'beta cells'. This process is crucial in managing blood sugar levels.

• Blocks potassium channels: Gliclazide blocks ATP-sensitive potassium channels on beta cell membranes, eventually resulting in increased insulin release.

• Enhances peripheral insulin sensitivity: Aside from stimulating insulin release, gliclazide may also enhance peripheral insulin sensitivity. This means that it helps your body's cells utilise insulin more effectively.

• Reduces hepatic glucose production: Gliclazide may help reduce glucose production in the liver, further helping to control blood sugar levels.

• Decreases gut glucose absorption: Gliclazide could possibly reduce glucose absorption from food within the gut. This contributes towards maintaining stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.

• Store Diamicron MR Tablet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• Maintain an optimal storage temperature below 30°C.

• Keep Diamicron MR Tablet safely out of the reach of children.

• Use it before the expiry date mentioned on the package.

• Limit your sugar intake as Diamicron MR Tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes. Opt for whole grains, fruits, and vegetables instead.

• Regular physical exercise can help manage your blood sugar levels. Try to incorporate at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity into your daily routine.
