I have had Type 2 diabetes for 20 years and have been taking Vogab GM1 for the past two months. What side effects should I be aware of?
Vogab GM1 helps control blood sugar in patients with Type 2 diabetes and is usually well-tolerated. Some people may experience mild side effects such as stomach upset, diarrhoea, or bloating, and it can occasionally cause low blood sugar, with symptoms like sweating or dizziness. Very rarely, it may lead to a serious condition called lactic acidosis. To reduce risks, take the tablets with meals, monitor your blood sugar regularly, and contact your doctor if you feel unusually weak, short of breath, or have ongoing stomach pain. Following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining good lifestyle habits can also improve the medication’s effectiveness and lower the chance of side effects.
