X-Met 500 MG Tablet SR Health Feed

Hello, Thanks for the query.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. However, there is only mention of medication being taken. That does not give any idea about how is the actual glucose control, because there is no information on fasting, pp glucose, hba1c%, dietary pattern, lipid profile, extent of daily exercise and bp readings.

When that is achieved, with proper diet and exercise you can build a good physique, plus remain quite fit. That will help in postponing the long term complications of diabetes or prevent them.
As regards the diet chart or diet required has to be based on your weigh (ideal weight), present dietary habits and the need for either weight re...more

The delayed version releases the drug more slowly and this usually eliminates the gastrointestinal problems.

Ir is immediate release and sr is sustained release formulations. Both work well but usually sr formulations have lesser gastrointestinal side effects.
