Starlix (nateglinide)

Starlix (nateglinide) is a type 2 diabetes oral medication in the meglitinide class of drugs. It helps beta cells in the pancreas release more insulin. Because type 2 diabetes medications act in separate ways to lower blood glucose levels, providers will often prescribe multiple drugs to a patient. Several of the more popular combinations of oral drugs can be prescribed together in a single pill. Each medication has its own side effects. Read labels carefully to be sure you know what they are.
