Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces, resulting in high blood sugar levels. This tablet helps control blood sugar by eliminating excess glucose through urine and enhancing the body’s natural insulin function. Proper blood sugar management can lower the risk of diabetes-related complications and improve overall well-being.

How Sitara-D Tablet Works
