How Piofit VG Tablet works

Piofit VG 15mg/50mg Tablet is a combination of two antidiabetic medications. Pioglitazone primarily acts on muscle, fat, and liver cells to enhance their insulin response, making it easier for these cells to take up glucose from the bloodstream. It also reduces the production of glucose by the liver, which is a common problem in people with type 2 diabetes. Vildagliptin helps increase insulin secretion in response to meals while suppressing the release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels. Therefore, the combined effect of these medicines helps decrease blood glucose levels.

Any latest discoveris for type 1 mellitus Diabetes?

Dr. Sanjay Bhatt

Physician

Diabetes Ireland is delighted to hear of the Harvard success and congratulate Professor Melton and colleagues on figuring out the complex series of steps necessary to turn stem cells into beta cells. Hopefully, they can negotiate the regulations for mass production so that an abundant supply of beta cells is available an new and innovative methods will be developed to cure/treat Type 1 diabetes. Type I diabetes is an autoimmune condition whereby the body kills off its own beta (insulin producing) cells resulting in the need for daily insulin administration through the skin. Replacing beta cells in the first step towards a cure, but the replaced beta cells need to be protected from the body?s autoimmune response. This means protecting them in a coating or taking drugs to prevent the response (possible worse side effects than diabetes).
