Diamicron Xr 60Mg Tablet Health Feed

lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The iformation given is very little to give any opinion. I need to know full details like fasting, PP & HbA1c%, dietary pattern extent of daily exercise, total medications being taken with exact dosage. Plus please clarify in your "medical conditions" there is a mention as T1 diabetes. If that is the case then how is that you are on Diamicron? Because T1 DM is only treated with Insulin Injection. No other anti diabetic drugs is used. Thanks.

Diabetes should be well controlled
target hba1c should be 6
you can conceive but have to shift to only insulin therapy during pregnancy
dose have to be adjusted accordingly.
If uncontrolled sugars are there chances of large baby and deformity are there.

Nice to see your blood sugars are well controlled. You need not increase the dose, as it can lead to hypoglycemia which can be very dangerous at times
unfortunately diabetes is a progressive disease and over a period of time you may have to increase the dosages as insulin secretion declines and blood sugar starts increasing.

Diamicron is good drug and can be used with metformin and your HbA1C is good ( in a diabetic less than 7 is acceptable It is not easy to get less than 6 unless you start insulin also ) and as the FBS is high you can ass metformin also and do more exercises and monitor regularly

Lybrate-user, being a diabetic and also over weight now going in for hypertension, You must make an active effort to lose weight. Brisk walk for 45 min to 60 min. Also keep ac heck on your diet. Lastly, if your BMI id high, Metabolic keyhole surgery is a valid option which will give you a 3 fold benefit of weight loss, remission of type 2 diabetes.

Reports are suggestive of Nephropathy and symptoms are suggestive of Diabetic neuropathy. Needs Nerve conduction studies of lower limbs and consultation with a Neurologist and Nephrologist.

Frequency of urination will increase because of Forxiga. So that's not worrying. What might be of worry is the pain in lower foot. Thus can be nothing or can be indicative of something serious. Please take private consultation here on Lybrate from one of diabetes expert.

U will need a change of medicines. Pls check your after meal sugars as well, so the doses can be adequately adjusted. You may need a small dose of insulin which will benefit the kidneys

No, for conditions like what you described, sandalwood paste or turmeric paste will not help, first the diagnosis must be made, only then treatment can be decided. Cortisone cream should not be applied unless dermatologist has prescribed.

I presume he underwent prostate surgery for benign enlargement and cancer was detected incidentally. Hopefully an MRI and bone scan was done for staging to confirm that its a localised disease. We advise watchful waiting or active surveillance for those with localised, early stage and low risk disease or intermediate risk disease in patients with very high comorbidities, reducing the life expectancy of <10 years.
Gleason of 7 and PSA below 10 puts him in the intermediate risk hence watchful ...more
