Whether the patient can take this medication should be determined based on the individual's condition. This drug is highly effective and belongs to the class of insulin secretagogues. However, it is not suitable for patients with type 1 diabetes or those type 2 diabetic patients with significantly impaired pancreatic function, as it may lead to further deterioration of pancreatic function. It is recommended that patients control their diet by eating smaller, more frequent meals, consuming more fresh vegetables, and eating fruit in moderation, so as to maintain blood glucose levels within the normal range.
