Diabetologist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. No, Ganaton does not reduce blood sugar levels.
2. It is given to reduce gastric production and hence gastritis.
3. It has not effect on blood sugar levels. Continue all medications. It is only coincidental. In Diabetes or non-diabetes, it has no effect on sugar levels.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
