The fasting and PP blood glucose levels mentioned are very high, suggesting present treatment is inadequate. Ideally FBG should be < 100 mg, PP should be around 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% < 6.8.

Dear lybrate-user. Thanks for the question. Metformin, marketed under the trade name Glucophage among others, is the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, particularly in people who are overweight.

Hi lybrate-user
Just make sure that the diagnosis of PCOS is right. You need to have irregular periods with signs of excess androgens (like facial and body hair growth, hair loss over scalp, skin darkening at neck, excess pimples) and ultrasound showing ovaries with more than 12 follicles, and increased in volume. If the diagnosis is rightly made. Do give some time. Metformin will help. It's not that women with PCOS do not get pregnant. Do consult if you have any doubts.

It's use is multiple. Used in pcod and prediabetic also to reduce and control weight. Also check your tsh levels.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
It is difficult give a clear answer whether a SGLT - 2 Inhibitor can be added to existing therapy withput knowing full details of the case. I need to know the following: Fasting, PP glucose levels, HbA1c%, weight, height, serum creatinine & urea levels, eGFR and whethe there is microalbuminura. If kidney function is compromised or eGFR is low, then certain drugs can not be sude including metformin and SGLT-2 Inhibitors. Thanks.

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query.
Fruits can be eaten by a diabetic person. But it is essential to achieve a strict glucose control. Ideally fasting glucose should be < 100 mg, PP 160 to 170 mg & HbA1c% <7. All fruits can be taken, but in a limited quantity. Sweets are best avoided, because they increase the blood glucose almost immediately. Thanks.
