Dear lybrate-user as I can see your blood sugars are very much under control as per your recent reports, I suggest you to watch for low blood sugars symptoms (hypoglycemia). Till then you can continue the same regime #besafe.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the information given. i do not understand the relationship between Pantoprazole and diabetes treatment.
You have mentioned fasting and PP (?) glucose level but no HbA1c5. So it is difficult to comment.
Pantoprazole is for controlling stomach acid secretion, it has nothing to do with glucose control. Please clarify why that has been mentioned. Thanks.

Dear lybrate-user,
the sugar levels and hba1c are acceptable. I f he tightens up the diet and walks for an hour per day the hba1c will probably come down to about 7 % which is excellent

He is on gliptins metformin and sulfonylurea combination. Metformin is known to cause gi disturbances. Gliptins delays gastic emptying. Long term diabetics usually have diabetic gastropathy symptoms as well. Instead of cremaffin he can take isabgol powder. And increase fiber content in diet.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The dosage of various medicines for glucose control can be adjusted on the basis of patients needs, doctor's advise and also based on dietary intake.

Voglibose is usually recommended with each meal, that is three times a day. As it is mainly for reducing post food glucose rise. Thanks.
