Glufast® (Mitiglinide Calcium Tablets)-faster and stronger, safer and more effective for lowering blood sugar
Glufast®, as a new generation of fast-acting physiological model insulin secretagogue, is suitable for improving postprandial hyperglycemia in T2DM. It has the three characteristics of “fast”, “stable” and “strong”, which can be “faster”, “stronger” and “more effective” for lowering blood sugar. It is an ideal choice for improving insulin secretion defects in diabetic patients. In 2017, it was successfully listed in the national medical insurance catalogue and became a resistance as one of the powerful options for “diabetes”.
According to the latest estimates of the International Diabetes Federation, China has the largest population of diabetic patients in the world. It is currently estimated that there are more than 114 million diabetic patients, and this number is still rising. Among all diabetes patients in China, more than 90% are Type II diabetes patients, and the prevalence of Type II diabetes in China is still increasing significantly.
