Gl Met 80 MG Tablet Health Feed

Asked for male, 33 years old from Bangalore

Report

I am 30 years old male. Few months back I have taken my random blood sugar test which result in 259. I was afraid and taken a fasting and pp blood sugar test which resulted in 190 fasting and 248 in pp. I consulted with one physician who suggested one medicine gliclazide 80 mg and metformin 500 mg once daily before breakfast. But still I am not getting proper reading. In diet I have avoided sugar, sweet dishes, rice, potatoes, sweet fruits etc. In breakfast I take 2 nos chapati with green vegetable like gourd etc and salads. In lunch 1 take 3 nos chapati and some cabbage, cauliflowers, radish, bitter gourd etc and same in dinner. By profession I am an engineer and work exercise regularly including morning walks and few cardiovascular exercises. My family history is well known for diabetes. My mother is a diabetic since last 25 years, my father is non diabetic with epilepsy since last 50 years, my grandfather was diabetic, my grand mother was diabetic, my maternal uncles were diabetic and my own uncles are also diabetic. So I know I am on high risk of getting diabetic but what can I do to avoid symptoms? What medicines should I take. Is there any possibility to revoke dm if started treatment, precautions early being this in too early stage say 2 months only. If required I can share my blood test reports for hba1c, bsf/pp, cbc, lft, kft, lipid profile etc. Please suggest.

Mr Lybrate-User, thanks for the query.
Your glucose levels mentioned (fasting & pp) both confirm that you have diabetes. Please check hba1c%, that will help in knowing how well is the control after starting treatment.
Even after taking gliclazide and metformin (80 + 500 mg once a day), blood glucose is not controlled, means the current treatment is inadequate. There is a need to upgrade it. Plus give a closer look at diet, exercise and weight. With bmi of 26.44 kgs/sq meter (normal < 23 ...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
It is bit strange to know that you are taking Glimiperide as well as Gliclazide as both drugs are similar in action. I do not understand how such a prescription is given. Any ways if you want to take any multivitamin it is finr. Thanks.

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.

You have not mentioned your blood sugar fasting, pp and hba1c report.
It is better to start with first one as it contains two medicines and second contsins three. Monitor blood sugar and keep in touch with your doctor.

gfr 53 is low, means kidneys are affected due to long term diabetes. Apart from gliclazide what other medications are you taking? how are sugar levelsand hba1c%. If diabetes is in check nephropathy can also be controlled. Do you have high blood pressure, if so what are the drugs for that? few precautions restrict salt intake and do not eat more proteins. Please inform me otherdetails.
