Diabeta is a prescription-only medicine for lowering the amount of blood glucose. It is only provided to people who have high blood sugar or diabetes.
How To Use
The best way to take Diabeta is exactly as the doctor prescribes it. Make sure you eat your meals before taking it. If taking Diabeta once per day, then eat your breakfast before use. Even if your condition begins to improve, keep taking Diabeta according to the doctor’s instructions. Make sure you take at the same hour every single day. Don’t skip your doses at all. If you do, however, take the skipped dose the soonest you can recall. Take it only if your next-scheduled dose is not close to avoid an overdose.
