Depends. If your sugar control is good you may do it less frequently. If your dietary control is at par. Your daily routine like exercise etc. Are regular. You observe on an average your sugar levels at different occasion are fairly the same you may reduce frequency. Take different samples like fasting (should be around 120. Random (should be around 200) and pp (should be around 140-150. Check your hba1c once in 6 months and it should be around 6.5-7.00.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
You have mentioned only fasting glucose, it would have been better if after food values were also given. HbA1c% 8.6, is definitely high. Which means your blood glucose control has not been good during last few months. There is a need to upgrade the present treatment plus a closer look has to be given to your diet and daily exercise. You are on Glibenclamide, an old sulfonylura, it is better to change it to a newer compound. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
As I understand you are asking what are the side effects of the medicine that you are taking, is it? Well most of the drugs currently used in treating diabetes are very safe. There are hardly any problematic side effects. People take them for a number of years like 25 to 30 years. So you need not worry. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Usually if there is allergy to sulfonylurea, it will be there for all the compounds of that class. So if some one is allergic to glimiperide, then may also be allergic to glibenclamide. Therefore, it is better to avoid this group of drugs all together There are many other options to control blood glucose. The treating diabetologist will be better person to advise. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details, and it is very clear from those that your blood glucose levels are too high and diabetes is totally uncontrolled.
There is an urgent need for upgrading the treatment. I am a bit surprised to see that you are taking Tenelegliptin & metformin twice a day, when it is recommended only once a day. Plus you are on Glibenclamide an old molecule when there are better drugs available. Plus there is a need to give a closer look at your diet an...more

diabetes diet plays a very important role. You need to be very particular about food choices & timings to control blood glucose levels. Even medicines will not work properly unless you are particularly about food choices. I would suggest you to properly follow the do's and don't of diabetes so to control the blood glucose levels.
