Glimepride 1 MG Tablet Health Feed

Overdose of this medicine can cause hypoglycemia and in this situation blood sugar needs frequent monitoring and for prevetion of fall of blood sugar take sugar and sweets accordingly.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
It appears you are on a fairly high dose of Glimepiride. Metformin (2000 mg) is also fairly high. Usually Glimepiride should not be used more than 4 mg in a day. Even though recommended upper limit is 8 mg, conventionally using more than 4 mg is not advised. Since there is no mention of actual glucose levels (fasting, PP and HbA1c%), there is no way to know how good is the control. Ideally in a well controlled diabetes fasting should be < 100 mg, PP 15...more

U can take it but is advisable to take it before food. However please remember after taking the tablet do not skip the meals/food.

Could be side effects of the medications. For now you can take a 'l-lysine' containing syrup for boosting appetite, take a 'proton pump inhibitor' (for gas, acidity, bloating) in the morning, and do a liver function test (blood test for lft). Most importantly, talk to the doctor who treats your diabetes about this symptom.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
High blood glucose levels mean current treatment is inadequate. There has to be up gradation in terms of increasing the insulin dosage or adding some of the newer molecule to get better glucose control. Plus we will also have to look at your dietary intake and extent of exercise being done daily.

Hello, thanks for the query.
For a lady with preexisting diabetes, pregnancy does produce a lot of challenges. 1) there is a need for achieving a strict blood glucose control with glucose remaining between 90 to 120 mg through out the day. 2) just before conception there is a need to shift to insulin, because apart from metformin most other oral anti-diabetics are not preferred in pregnancy. 3) there is a need to check retina more often just before pregnancy and during the gestation.

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.

Try to change diet. Take tab diabecon and diabeid tea will control your sugarl levels for further for further queries pls revert. Back.

Well your medicine is OK. If your duration of diabetes is short, meaning around one year, I would prefer to give you gliptin and metformi n combination.
