Interaction Details
Insulin Glargine Recombinant is classified as belonging to the following category: Antidiabetes Drugs
Maltose, a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules, has the potential to affect blood sugar levels similarly to table sugar (sucrose). While maltose itself does not necessarily interact directly with antidiabetic drugs, its digestion into glucose can lead to elevated blood sugar levels, which may impact the effectiveness of antidiabetic medications. In terms of effects on blood sugar, maltose may lead to a more rapid increase in blood sugar levels compared to sucrose, as it is directly converted into glucose. Individuals with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar levels closely when consuming foods or beverages containing maltose to maintain proper glucose control.
