DiaBeta is medication for people with type 2 diabetes. The main purpose of DiaBeta is to lower blood sugar for people who have mild type 2 diabetes and have the ability to produce their own insulin.

DiaBeta is an oral medicine and has to be taking either once or twice a day in accordance to your doctor’s wishes. Your doctor may increase the amount of DiaBeta you take if the amount that you are now taking is not having the desired effect. The opposite is true in regards to your blood sugar levels remaining stable; the doctor may take you off a higher dosage of DiaBeta.
