DBI

DBI (Diabetes Blocker Inhibitor) is a prescription medication used to manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It works by inhibiting specific enzymes that contribute to glucose production in the liver, thereby helping to maintain more stable blood sugar levels. DBI is typically used in conjunction with diet, exercise, and sometimes other diabetes medications.
