Jardiance 25 Mg, Reduce Blood Glucose Level & Prevent Diabetes Complications - 30 Tablets

Empagliflozin works by inhibiting the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) found in the proximal tubules in the kidneys. Through SGLT2 inhibition, empagliflozin reduces renal reabsorption of glucose and increases urinary excretion of glucose.

Empagliflozin is used to treat type 2 diabetes in adult patients (aged 18 years and older) that cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone.
Empagliflozin can be used without other medicines in patients who cannot take metformin (another diabetes medicine).
Empagliflozin can also be used with other medicines for the treatment of diabetes. These may be medicines taken by mouth or given by injection such as insulin.

All carbohydrates affect blood glucose levels so it’s important to know which foods contain carbohydrates. Choose the healthier foods that contain carbs and be aware of your portion sizes.
Eat less salt. Eating lots of salt can increase your risk of high blood pressure, which in turn increases the risk of heart diseases and stroke. And when you have diabetes, you’re already more at risk of all of these conditions.
Eat more fruit and vegetables. This can help you get the vitamins, minerals, and fiber your body needs every day to help keep you healthy.
You can always try low or zero-calorie sweeteners (also known as artificial sweeteners) to help you cut down sugar for example Steviana Sweetener or Tropicana Slim Sweetener
Don’t forget to keep moving. Being more physically active goes hand in hand with eating healthier.
Remember to measure your blood glucose level continuously by using home monitor like Accu-Check, Instant, Blood Glucose Monitor

If you experience symptoms of hypoglycemia such as weakness, dizziness, increased sweating, fast heart beating, vision disorders or difficulty in concentration, it usually helps to eat or drink something containing sugar.

Random blood sugar test: A blood sample will be taken at a random time. Regardless of when you last ate, a blood sugar level of 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or higher suggests diabetes. A blood sugar level less than 140 mg/dL is normal. A reading between 140 and 199 mg/dL indicates prediabetes
Fasting blood sugar test. A blood sample will be taken after an overnight fast. A fasting blood sugar level less than 100 mg/dl is normal. A fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL is considered prediabetes. If it's 126 mg/dL or higher on two separate tests, you may have diabetes.
Oral glucose tolerance test: For this test, you fast overnight, and the fasting blood sugar level is measured. Then you drink a sugary liquid, and blood sugar levels are tested periodically for the next two hours.
