A balanced, controlled-carbohydrate diet, regular physical exercise, maintaining a healthy body weight, avoiding smoking, and routine blood glucose monitoring are vital to managing type 2 diabetes effectively.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, heart failure, a history of pancreatitis, or severe dehydration. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience severe persistent stomach pain, or severe weakness and muscle pain.
