    Biguanide hypoglycemic drugs, oral. Suitable for people with type 2 diabetes who are not well controlled by diet and exercise alone**. This product can be used alone or in combination with sulfonylureas or insulin.

    Adverse effects. Some patients have gastrointestinal discomfort after oral administration of this product, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, bloating, indigestion, heartburn, as well as dizziness, headache, flu-like symptoms, abnormal taste, muscle pain, low blood pressure, palpitations, flushing, chills, chest discomfort, rash, fatigue, tiredness, etc. Anemia, vasculitis, and pneumonia are rare.

    Taboo. Type 2 diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis, liver and kidney insufficiency, heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, severe infection and trauma, major surgery, clinical hypotension and hypoxia, previous history of lactic acidosis, and those who are allergic to this product are prohibited.

    The main adverse reactions of metformin are gastrointestinal reactions, but when taken during and after meals, the symptoms will be reduced, and it is generally not necessary to stop the drug, but if the medication is not properly grasped or taken in large doses, lactic acidosis will be induced, and in addition, taking metformin for a long time will reduce the body's absorption of vitamin B12.

    In general, metformin has a good safety profile and has no direct effect on the kidneys, but patients with pre-existing kidney damage will cause the accumulation of drugs. In addition, metformin only reduces hyperglycemia, has no effect on the human body with normal blood sugar, and will not cause hypoglycemia when used alone, and is currently the only oral hypoglycemic drug approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for use in children with type 2 diabetes.

    Diabetes mellitus is a series of metabolic disorders such as sugar, protein, fat, water and electrolytes caused by genetic factors, immune disorders, microbial infections and their toxins, free radical toxins, mental factors, etc., which act on the body to cause pancreatic islet dysfunction and insulin resistance (IR).

    Complications of diabetes include cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, etc., and diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common and frequent complication of diabetes in clinical practice. In other words, diabetic nephropathy is one of the most serious complications of diabetes and the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Diabetic nephropathy is the main microvascular complication of diabetes, mainly referring to diabetic glomerulosclerosis, a glomerular lesion dominated by vascular damage.

    In the early stages, most of them are asymptomatic, and blood pressure may be normal or high. Its incidence increases with the prolongation of the duration of diabetes. In the early stage of diabetes, the renal volume increases, the glomerular filtration rate increases, and the state of high filtration is high, and then the interstitial proteinuria or microalbuminuria gradually appears, and with the prolongation of the course of the disease, persistent proteinuria, edema, hypertension, and glomerular filtration rate decreases, and then renal insufficiency and uremia are one of the main causes of death from diabetes.

    In summary, the following conclusions can be drawn:

    1. The phenomenon of edema is not directly related to taking metformin;

    2. Your blood sugar is not well controlled;

    It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a kidney function test and urine test.

    Many people know that once they suffer from diabetes, they need to take hypoglycemic drugs for a long time, and most diabetics are afraid that long-term use of lipid-lowering drugs will damage their kidneys, so they are usually more worried, although hypoglycemic drugs will have a certain impact on the body and kidneys, but diabetics may wish to do this in their daily life, which can reduce the damage to their kidneys.

    What should diabetics do to avoid kidney damage when taking hypoglycemic drugs?

    1. Drink plenty of water and don't hold your urine.

    Some diabetics make themselves busy because of work, and they can't urinate immediately when they have the urge to urinate, but diabetics should know that holding urine often will keep urine in the bladder for too long and cause bacteria to multiply, and bacteria will retrograde to the kidneys through the ureter, which can easily cause the kidneys to be affected and cause nephritis, so diabetics should know that once they have the urge to urinate, they should urinate immediately.

    2. Don't take medication casually.

    Because the immunity of diabetics is relatively weak, they are prone to some diseases in ordinary times, and some diabetics like to take drugs casually when some minor diseases occur, but the drugs need to be excreted through the kidneys after entering the body, so diabetics should remember not to use drugs casually, and it is safer to do it under the guidance of a doctor.

    3. Don't consume too much salt.

    Diabetics should try to avoid excessive salt intake at ordinary times, because salt needs to be excreted through the kidneys after entering the body, and the sodium ions in the salt will affect the excretion of water in the body, which will also lead to an increase in the burden on the kidneys.

    4. Have regular kidney check-ups.

    Diabetics should not only check their blood sugar regularly, but also do regular checks for kidney function during the blood sugar control period, regular checkups can help diabetics actually know their own kidney conditions, and can also detect problems early, and carry out them as soon as possible**, because once kidney disease occurs, if it is detected and controlled in time in the early stage, it can prevent kidney disease from continuing to develop.

    Warm reminder, diabetics should know that although hypoglycemic drugs have certain damage to the kidneys, the harm caused by diabetes is more beneficial than disadvantageous, so diabetics should not have excessive rejection because of the impact of hypoglycemic drugs on the kidneys, and do not take drugs regularly at ordinary times, so it is easy to let their blood sugar not be stabilized, and it is easy for the kidneys to be harmed if blood sugar is not stabilized, and it is easy to lead to the occurrence of diabetic nephropathy.

    In fact, this is a very wrong perception, the liver is a very important drug metabolism organ in the human body, so um. Most drugs need to be metabolized by our liver before they can exert their effects, including hypoglycemic drugs. It can be said that hypoglycemic drugs will only have an effect after being metabolized by our liver, and in this process, they will not cause any damage to our liver.

    In fact, there are many diabetic patients, he has a great misunderstanding about this hypoglycemic drug, they think that after taking these drugs, it will damage us. So I didn't dare to take medicine. However, due to the high blood sugar and the lack of medicine, it cannot be effectively controlled, and serious complications will occur, which will affect the health of the body, which is simply a thing that outweighs the loss.

    Taking medicine will not harm our physical health, but it will be damaged if we don't take it, after all, if you are sick, you have to be cured, and you can't drag it out.

    We must know that the kidney is a very important organ for the excretion of drugs in the human body, and this oral hypoglycemic drug often consumed by diabetic patients will play a role after the excretion of the kidneys, and will not cause damage to our kidneys. If you are worried that it will be bad for our body, then you can go for a liver every year, if the body, if the body has developed liver and kidney lesions, then the lesions may be aggravated when taking this medicine. When such a person is using drugs, he must consult a doctor.

    However, if you are a functioning patient, then taking such a drug will not cause any effects. Don't stop taking it because you are afraid of having a drug, if you have diabetes or other complications because of this, it is really not worth it, and it will be more difficult to treat at that time, and people will suffer a lot of losses and spend a lot of money, which is not cost-effective.

    Introduction: If you have diabetes and insist on taking hypoglycemic drugs every day, but still have diabetic nephropathy, it may be due to these reasons: not paying attention to adjusting your lifestyle, not following the norms for correct blood sugar monitoring, taking hypoglycemic drugs irregularly, and blindly choosing hypoglycemic drugs.

    For those patients with diabetes, it is very necessary to take hypoglycemic drugs every day, but some patients do not take the drugs as prescribed by the doctor, they will think that the drugs are toxic, so they change the doctor's daily dose from three times a day to once a day, so that the effect of blood sugar control will not be achieved.

    Some diabetic patients will do anything to lower their blood sugar, and even choose to trust those irregular drugs. Although some drugs have a clear hypoglycemic effect, but the time of action is very short, mostly suitable for those patients with fasting blood sugar, if you blindly change the medicine yourself under the continuous use of the doctor to give the drug for many times, this is very incorrect, and it is likely to cause the body to have uncomfortable symptoms.

    Taking medicine is only a very important means of diabetes, and another important part of diabetes is diabetes and blood sugar monitoring, patients need to monitor their blood sugar every day, although some people take hypoglycemic drugs as required every day, but do not monitor blood sugar correctly, then there may be symptoms of hypoglycemia, then his blood sugar is not up to standard.

    Although it is said that if you take medication as required every day and monitor your blood sugar, it is also very incorrect to not adjust your lifestyle in time, because lifestyle is the foundation of a person's life, if you don't even change your lifestyle, then there are some harmful habits that will continue to affect your body, and even accelerate diabetic nephropathy.
