Abstract
AbstractType 2 diabetes is currently treated by multiple drugs that are often combined to achieve maximum blood glucose lowering in patients. Yet more than 50% of patients are unable to attain target glucose levels. There is clear need for agents which can be added to current drugs to help patients achieve their target blood glucose levels safely.To this end we tested an anti-diabetic nutraceutical for its ability to enhance glucose uptake in muscle cells in combination with currently used cardiometabolic drugs. We show here that the nutraceutical is able to effectively improve glucose uptake of multiple drugs suggesting that it may help in enhancement of glucose lowering by the drugs in patients and achieve optimal glucose levels.
