It is not clear from your entry when your glucose level is 115. Is it about the fasting test? If you mean a glucose measurement made in the morning on an empty stomach, authenticated by the laboratory, then in the event of an incorrect result, you should consult a doctor to modify the therapy. Both too low and too high glycemic levels are bad for health. Siofor contains metformin, which is a substance used to treat diabetes. Metformin helps to lower blood glucose to values as close to normal as possible. Siofor is available in a choice of doses, including in the form of prolonged-release tablets, which allows you to tailor the treatment to the needs of a particular patient. Metformin works in at least three different ways: it lowers hepatic glucose production, increases the sensitivity of tissues to insulin in the muscles, so that they better capture and consume glucose, delays the intestinal absorption of glucose.
