Patient/caregiver was educated on indications for Nateglinide use as follows:
- Insulin is a hormone that helps with shifting the glucose in the blood into the cells of body tissues. This helps with regulating the blood sugar levels and providing nutrition to the cells of body tissues. Type-2 diabetes is a condition in which your body becomes resistant to the action insulin. Resistance to action of insulin hormone leads to poor shifting of glucose in the blood into the cells of body tissues. This leads to poor regulation of blood sugar levels with higher blood sugar numbers and poor nutrition supply to the cells of body tissues. Reduced nutrition supply to body tissues can contribute to diabetes symptoms, such as, feeling very tired, confusion, and blurred vision.
- Nateglinide acts by increasing the secretion of insulin from pancreas. Increased insulin secretion by Nateglinide can help improve shifting of glucose from the blood into the cells of body tissues. Increased glucose shifting into the cells leads to lowered blood sugar numbers and improved regulation of blood sugars. Increased glucose shifting into the cells contributes to better nutrition supply to the cells of body tissues and results in the relief of diabetes symptoms, such as, feeling very tired, confusion, and blurred vision.
