I was taking dianil 1 and glucomet 800, twice daily and my sugar was not under control. Now i take iscept forte and jalra 50 mg. Plus I also take novomix insulin and my sugar is under total control. what is the difference between dianil and iscept forte and glucomet and jalra ?
Hi, These medicines are commonly prescribed alone or in combination to control the blood sugar in patients suffering from type-2 diabetes, and they work by different mechanisms. Daniel contains glibenclamide which acts on pancreas to release insulin. Glucose (metformin) acts on the liver and intestines to reduce blood sugar as well as to increase the glucose uptake inside the cells. Except forte is a combination of glibenclamide and metformin. Clara (vildagliptin) acts on the intestine to release certain hormones which act on pancreas to release insulin. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
