Prandin Information

Prandin (Repaglinide) is primarily used, in conjunction with diet and exercise, to improve blood glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is particularly effective for managing postprandial hyperglycemia (spike in blood sugar after meals). Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a condition where the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or has become resistant to its effects, leading to abnormally high blood sugar. Its active ingredient is repaglinide, and it is classified as an oral antihyperglycemic agent in the meglitinide class.

Repaglinide works by stimulating pancreatic ß-cell secretion of insulin. Unlike some other medications that have a slower onset, repaglinide has a rapid onset and a short duration of action. It acts on pancreatic beta cells by closing specific potassium channels. This opens calcium channels, leading to an influx of calcium and a resultant surge, which rapidly triggers beta cells to secrete insulin into the bloodstream. Because it acts so quickly, its use is adjusted to coincide with mealtimes. This mechanism allows for better control over the immediate increase in blood glucose from the food you just ate.

Unlike some other antidiabetic medications, it carries a lower risk of causing dangerously low blood glucose when used correctly, because its effect wears off after a few hours and doesn't persist between meals. It is important to note that repaglinide is not used for people with type 1 diabetes or for treating diabetic ketoacidosis, a life-threatening condition that occurs with poor glucose control.
