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

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Tablets with either XL or SR mean the drug is released slowly over period of 12 hours or longer. Other tablets have normal releasing compound where action may last for 6 to 8 hours or longer depending upon type of the compound and its pharmacokinetic characteristics. . Thanks

Hello, Thanks for the query.
In patients with diabetes, uncontrolled high glucose levels are the main or the only reason for causing damage to kidney and leading to long term problem of failure. The antidiabetic drugs used (oral) are quite safe. There are patients on oral drugs for over 50 years without any damage to kidney. But if glucose levels are not well controlled that is sure to damage kidney filtration membrane and lead to end stage kidney failure. Thanks.
