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.

Hi
Sorry about your condition.
If you are only 25, then this sounds more Juvenile Diabetes. Meaning, you might have has this problem since childhood. The best way to manage this would be Insulin Injections. Id have preferred an in person consult with you, to guide you through this sudden change.
Metformin is a real diabetes medicine, same as the others. And please do not self medicate. The underlying issue in both PCOS and Diabetes is the same, which is, impaired Insulin activity.more

One thing u can do is change the brand and see if u find any relief as metformin is a very good medicines. You can try cetapin XR 500 thrice daily.Also use tab pantodac 40 for 15 days.
If symptoms don't resolve, then guess we need to stop metformin.
