What is Minidiab?
Minidiab containing the active ingredient glipizide is considered a sulfonylureas type of medication.

It is used along with a proper diet and regular exercise to treat patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Proper control of diabetes may also decrease the risk of a stroke or heart attacks.
