What does it do?

Mitiglinide calcium hydrate is a drug that stimulates insulin secretion and belongs to a class of diabetes treatments used for blood sugar control. It is mainly prescribed to lower blood sugar levels that rise sharply after meals.

This ingredient acts on the beta cells of the pancreas to rapidly increase insulin secretion. As a result, post-meal blood sugar is effectively controlled, reducing blood sugar spikes.
