lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query.
Madam you have mentioned quite a few drugs, which you want to take. Even though your glucose levels are too high, it is difficult to say whether you can all of these. The treatment for diabetes is not just taking a bunch of medicines which reduce glucose. Each medicine has a specific role and based on each patients needs the treating doctor decides how to begin the treatment. Plus it is also necessary to know patient's age, dietary habits, kidney functi...more

From your history it sounds like you hv developed ingrown toe nai. Along with fungal infection of nail (onychomycosis). Correct diagnosis to be made only after proper examination. For acute pain you can take nsaids (like aceclofenac). Once the pain is subsided, you can cut the ingrown portion of toe nail (or removal of matrix of nail. For onychomycosis pulse dose of cap itraconazole is given along with topical (like cyclopirox olamine/ amorolfine lotion). Visit nearst dermatolgist. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the detail and following are my observations : Both fasting & PP glucose are very high. Which shows that present treatment is not adequate. Ideally in a well controlled diabetic person fasting glucose should be < 100 mg or closer to 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% < 6.8%. There is no mention of HbA1c%, which gives a comparatively clearer picture of long term control.
Therefore, there is a need to upgrade the current treatment and also loo...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. However, there is only mention of medication being taken. That does not give any idea about how is the actual glucose control, because there is no information on fasting, pp glucose, hba1c%, dietary pattern, lipid profile, extent of daily exercise and bp readings. As regards changing a brand of metformin hardly matters. Unless above information is provided I am unable to comment or give any suggestions.
