When you have type 2 diabetes, gaining better control of your blood glucose (blood sugar) levels may often be hard to achieve. That's because each meal you eat may lead to a large increase, or "spike" in your blood sugar levels. This can happen when your body doesn't produce enough insulin or doesn't release it quickly enough. It can also happen when your body doesn't respond properly to the insulin that is released. It develops a resistance to insulin.

Sometimes, with type 2 diabetes, there may not be any symptoms for years. But over time, high levels of glucose in your blood can hurt your body and even lead to serious, long-term complications. The good news is that research has shown that complications of diabetes can be prevented or slowed by controlling blood sugar levels.

To help improve your control over your blood sugar levels after eating, you may want to consider a medication such as PRANDIN® (repaglinide) Tablets because, when taken as directed, PRANDIN® has been shown to lower blood glucose levels after eating.

Patients with type 2 diabetes often present with many therapeutic challenges-and foremost among them is successful long-term glycemic control.

Because Type 2 diabetes is a dual impairment disorder that results from insufficient insulin secretion and insulin resistence, an approach that addresses both can provide the desired therapeutic response.

Clinical studies demonstrate that PRANDIN® (repaglinide) in combination with an insulin sensitizer works together to effectively take down HBA1c. Furthermore, combination therapy with PRANDIN® provides greater glycemic control compared to monotherapy in treating type 2 diabetes.

PRANDIN® is approved for combination therapy with insulin sensitizers. In clinical trial the most common adverse events leading to discontinuation of PRANDIN® therapy were hyperglycemia, and related symptoms. The most common other side effects reported were cold-andflu-like symptoms, headache, diarrhea, joint ache, and back pain.
