Diamicron Mex 500 Tablet Xr Health Feed

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
I have gone through the details given. I really do not see the reason to change to newer tablets, because earlier too you were on Tenelegliptin, then Dimicron (Gliclazide) with metformin. The newer tablets do not have Gliclazide, hence the blood glucose control will not be as good as earlier.
You should contnue the earlier drugs, plus take a restricted diet and do more exercise per day ove 1 hour. That will help in reducing HbA1c%. Thanks.

Yes you can.

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

Cyblex xr 60 mg is gliclazide which is a sufonylurea drug and can not and should not be replaced with metformin.

Stopping medicine will only worsen your diabetes. Any doctor will suggest you to continue the medicine

Mr. lybrate-user, hello, thanks ror the query.
The fasting glucose mentioned is quite high. Ideally fbg should be < 100 mg to closer to it. Pp should be 150 to 170 mg & hba1c% < 7% at your age. Therefore, it is clear that your diabetes is not in proper control. So there is a need to look at overall treatment which includes dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise, lipid profile and drug therapy. So I need to know your hba1c%, lipid profile, and above mentioned information. So if you come ba...more

For diabetes follow a diet low in carbohydrate, low in fat and high in fibre. Walking for 30 mins a day for at least 5 days in a week is recommended. Follow a stress free life. Try walking for 10-15 min after your meal. If still your pp level remains high than your medication needs to be changed.

Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. What is mentioned is blood glucose levels.HbA1c% is different. Those values show there's a need for starting antidiabetic treatment. Plus there's a need to look diet, weight, exercise also. Thanks.

Yes it can be taken. But first get yourself evaluated for the reason for your hand pain. 6 months is a long period and a patient especially diabetic should not ignore such symptoms.
