Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which the pancreas does not make enough insulin to control the sugar in the blood or where the body does not respond normally to the insulin it produces.
NovoNorm is used to control type 2 diabetes in adults as an add-on to diet and exercise. Treatment is usually started if diet, exercise and weight reduction alone have not been able to control (or lower) the blood sugar.
NovoNorm can also be given with metformin or other medicines for diabetes.
NovoNorm has been shown to lower the blood sugar, which helps to prevent complications from diabetes.
