GLIMESTAR M2 itself usually does not cause acidity, but diabetes can slow stomach emptying and increase reflux, leading to heartburn. Other factors, such as diet (especially spicy or fatty foods) and irregular meals, can also trigger acidity, so managing lifestyle alongside medicines helps reduce symptoms.
