Mr. Lybrate-user, to reduce blood sugar levels, apart from appropriate medication, exercise and diet control are equally important. So you have exercise daily for at least 1 hour, brisk walk is a good option. Plus diet should be restricted to give exact calories based on sugar levels, daily exercise and ideal body weight.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
When diabetes is well controlled, fasting glucose should be around 100 mg or < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. If you have not been able to achieve these levels, then the current treatment is not adequate. Needs to be upgraded. Plus you will have to give a closer look at the diet and exercise being done daily. Because apart from drugs these two play a major role in helping proper glucose control. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Dental surgeon will only work on you if blood glucose is below 200 mg (PP). Otherwise, there is a chance of infection. So it is necessary for you to achieve that level. The options open are to increase Insulin dosage by 2 units in the morning and by 4 units in the night. Or plan a strict dietary change so that low glucose is maintained. Plus increase the level of exercise. Orelse, there is also another option of using SGLT - 2 Inhibitor for better cont...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. The glucose levels mentioned are too low and pretty dangerous. There is a need to reduce one of the drugs being taken. If the patient is 74 years old, then Glibeclamide (Glynase) needs to be discontinued as it has very long duration of action (over 16 hours) hence in older persons it tends to cause severe hypoglycemia. So please discontinue that and then after a week check the FBG & PP glucose. If you have any questions please do ...more

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Glipizide and metformin combination can cause low blood sugar. However, it also can occur if you delay or miss a meal or snack, drink alcohol, exercise more than usual, cannot eat because of nausea or vomiting, take certain medicines, or take glipizide and metformin with another type of diabetes medicine.

Dear ,
Most important for you is to control your diabetes by keeping the fasting blood sugar below 126 and postprandial blood sugar around 140-150. After that your foreskin problem. You should take antibiotic for 10 days. As this problem frequently occurs in diabetic patients and if recurrent then it would be better if complete circumcision surgery is done so that you get a permanent cure.
