Betacap TR is given for hand tremors (vibration) not for BP. So let her continue it. Check BP regularly ,as you said it can decrease BP aswell.

You continue with the gluconorm (metformin). Monitor your vitals, temperature, bp, oxygen saturation. In case your oxygen saturation drops below 92 or any shortness of breath. Report to your nearest health facility.

Hello, thanks for the query.
The test results do show you are in pre-diabyic state. Fortunately this is situation which one can reverse and prevent it from progressing to diabetes by adapting a modified lifestyle. That means regular exercise, diet control and maintaining normal body weight. Your present bmi is 26.70 kgs/sq meter (normal < 23 kgs/sq meter). That means you have an excess of of about 10 kgs. That needs to be reduced. Then your glucose level will also be coming down. Taking metf...more

Dear lybrate-user as I can see your blood sugars are not under control and on the other hand you are overweight adding on metformin blindly will not help. We may need to do some more investigations like hba1c and lipids based on that we can add on the tablets. For now I want you to concentrate on the diet pattern and do regular exercise for at least 1 hour try to reduce some weight that will help over all.
Thank you #besafe.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Since there is no information on fasting, pp glucose, hba1c%, lipid profile, dietary pattern & extent of daily exercise, there is no way to give any suggestion. Secondly your bmi (body mass index) is 28.65 kgs/sq meter (normal < 23 kgs/sq meter) which means you have an excess of over 15 kgs. This is a major hindrance in better glucose control. Plus I do not understand the reason for changing the medication. Please come ba...more

Whether you should continue metformin or not, depends on your fasting and pp sugar levels. Kindly get your sugar tested and share reports. If reports are normal, you might have to continue, as they are normal cause you are taking metformin. However if they are low, it can be stopped.
Metformin does not cause hair fall.
Check for other vitamin deficiency.
Eat healthy. Follow strict diabetic diet. Exercise regularly.

If only metformin is taken it should be after food. If sustained release tablet is there then od may ok. If not twice a day is better. Side effects are less if taken after food.
