Hi @gareth8777 and welcome to the forums.
The forum search function gives no hits on glucofort which suggests to me that it is probably a new wonder drug / natural supplement aka snake oil,
Googling suggests
Glucofort increases the insulin production in the body and supports increased sensitivity and response vehicles improving the immune system.
This is an immediate red flag as T2s typically produce too much insulin, at least until years of high blood sugars have damaged their pancreases. (Though to be fair T2 drugs such as gliclazide increase insulin production.)
If it works, where are the medical studies to prove that it does so and that it is safe?
My view is that if it works it needs testing like any medical drug and if it doesn't work, why take it?
Here's an article from the US FDA warning about miracle cures for diabetes,

My personal advice would be to look at reducing the carbs in your diet if you want to treat your T2.
