About Glucotrol Tablet
Glucotrol Tablet belongs to the group of antidiabetic medicines called 'sulfonylureas' used to treat type-2 diabetes mellitus when diet and exercise alone cannot control their blood sugar levels. Type-2 diabetes mellitus is also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Diabetes is a condition in which blood glucose levels are above normal.
Glucotrol Tablet contains 'Glipizide' which works by increasing insulin production by stimulating insulin secretion from the beta cells of the pancreas, thereby reducing high blood glucose (sugar) levels.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Type-2 diabetes mellitus: It is also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes, a chronic disease that keeps the body from utilizing insulin properly. Diabetes is a condition in which blood glucose levels are above normal. Insulin is the hormone that controls sugar levels in your blood. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce sufficient insulin or the insulin produced cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, hence it is also called adult-onset diabetes. Type 2 diabetes symptoms include lack of energy, tiredness, frequent urination, excess thirst, dry mouth, blurry vision, constant hunger, weight loss, and itchy skin.
