If you are suffering with prolonged constipation, gas,pain in nerves problem, perhaps these are the sings of kidney stones. Treatment like sound waves to break up your stones, parathyroid gland surgery, laser etc. Are very effective. Seek proper consultation and prescription before go for any medication.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
First and foremost is to achieve a strict blood glucose control with FBG <100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. When that is achieved, with proper diet and exercise you can build a good physique, plus remain quite fit. That will help in postponing the long term complications of diabetes or prevent them.
As regards the diet chart or diet required has to be based on your weigh (ideal weight), present dietary habits and the need for either weight re...more

Mr. lybrate-user Thanks for the query.
Your glucose levels are normal. I really do not see the reason for prescription of metformin. Following are the criteria for diagnosing diabetes & related conditions: 1)Normal: FBG: 70 to 100 mg (earlier 110 mg), PP < 140 mg & HbA1c% <5.7%
2) Pre-diabeteic: FBG:101 to 125 mg, PP 141 to 199 mg & HbA1c% 5.7 to 6.4%
3) Diabetes: FBG 126 mg and above, PP 200 mg and above & HbA1c% 6.5 5 and above. I hope things are clear to you. Thanks.

Dose adjustment needed. Insulin shd be given 2/3rd in the morning while I was remaining 1/3rd in the evening. That's the correct pattern. Cetapin is metformin only which is already there on amaryl m. You shd rather have medicine of another group. Call me if needed for proper treatment. Regards.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Both the products are same. The er refers to extended release, which means the drug is released slowly over 12 hours in the gut. That helps maintain a longer therapeutic level. It is beneficial more so if a person has any side effects like gastrointestinal disturbances if plain metformin is taken. Both are fine. Thanks.

Mr. Lybrate-User, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details, according to which you are saying even after taking metformin 500 mg, thrice a day blood glucose levels have not come down. Is that right? If so then there is a need to up grade the treatment. So contact your doctor and get it up graded. If you are looking for online help, then all the necessary details like current fasting, pp glucose levels, hba1c%, weight, height, diet pattern, extent of daily exercise, serum creatinine, ure...more
