Dibizide M is a combination treatment for type 2 diabetes. It contains two active ingredients: metformin and glipizide. These ingredients work together to encourage the pancreas to produce more insulin and also to increase the bodyโs ability to use insulin more effectively.
Metformin is one of the most commonly used treatments for type 2 diabetes. It works by improving how well the body is able to use insulin.
Glipizide is another medication that is often used to treat type 2 diabetes. It instructs the pancreas to make more insulin than it usually does, meaning that thereโs more insulin available to be used for the metabolisation of glucose. When used alongside a low carbohydrate diet and regular exercise, these treatments are often enough to lower blood sugar levels and treat type 2 diabetes.
For some people, glipizide or metformin alone are not effective at reducing blood glucose levels. In this case, Dibizide M can be used as an alternative treatment. It contains both metformin and glipizide, so it not only increases the amount of insulin available, but also makes the body more efficient and effective at using insulin.
When using Dibizide M itโs important to regularly monitor your blood sugar levels. Your doctor will review your levels on a regular basis as this will determine whether Dibizide M is the right treatment for you.
Dibizide M is also known as Bionase MF, Diacon M, Metglip DS, Glipicon M and Libiz M. These work in the same way as Dibizide M but the tablets and packaging may look a little different.
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body struggles to clear glucose from the bloodstream. This is usually done by insulin created in the pancreas. Insulin production is triggered by the presence of glucose. When this is triggered at high levels over a prolonged period of time, the body struggles to use the insulin that it needs to process the glucose found in the blood. This is known as insulin resistance, or type 2 diabetes.
Treating type 2 diabetes relies on making the body more sensitive to insulin so that itโs able to use it more effectively and therefore keep blood glucose levels within a safe range. Fasting, exercising and eating a low carbohydrate diet can all help to encourage insulin sensitivity. Sometimes this alone isnโt sufficient to lower blood glucose levels, and where this is the case, medication is needed.
Dibizide M helps the body to produce more insulin as well as increasing its ability to use it. This means that glucose does not stay in blood and is transported around the body where itโs used in metabolic processes or stored in the body as fat.
Dibizide M is available in a single dosage size, and this contains 5mg of glipizide and 500mg of metformin.
If you find that Dibizide M doesnโt work, there are other alternatives that your doctor may suggest. This may be another medication, supplementing Dibizide M with more of one of the combined ingredients or prescribing the combined ingredients as separate treatments.

Youโll usually be told to:
If you have any questions about how to take Dibizide M, you should refer to the patient leaflet thatโs supplied with your medication. If youโre still unsure, you can log on to your Treated account and send a message to one of our doctors.
Metformin lowers blood sugar within forty eight hours, and reaches peak effectiveness within 4โ5 days, but this can differ depending on dosage and initial blood glucose levels. Glipizide starts to lower blood glucose levels within thirty minutes, and reaches its full effectiveness within 1โ3 hours.
If you find that Dibizide M doesnโt work as quickly or effectively as you need it to, you should discuss this with your doctor as they may be able to suggest an alternative form of treatment.
If you forget to take Dibizide M you should take it as soon as you remember. If itโs almost time for your next dose, miss the forgotten dose and continue taking Dibizide M as you usually do. Never take a double dose of Dibizide M.
If you take too much Dibizide M seek medical attention immediately. When consulting a doctor, take your medication with you so that they can see what you have taken and how much you have taken.
