Yes, Dytor Plus can raise blood sugar levels slightly in diabetic patients. However, the exact cause behind this is unknown but it is presumed that Dytor Plus decreases the sensitivity of insulin towards glucose which causes a rise in blood sugar levels. So, if you have diabetes keep a check on your blood sugar levels and in case of a sudden spike in sugar levels take blood glucose lowering medicines to manage your diabetes.
Dytor Plus works by increasing the rate of urine formation by inhibiting the sodium and potassium reabsorption from the kidney, this causes more frequent urination than normal. The increased flow of urination leads to a decrease in blood volume and the removal of this extra fluid from your body results in a decrease in edema. The decreased blood volume causes relaxation of the walls of blood vessels and this results in a decrease in blood pressure which gives relief from swelling and high blood pressure to the patient.
