Mr. lybrate-user Kumar, Thanks for the query.
While prescribing jardiance I am sure doctor must have given you instructions about washing the penis and prepuce cleanly so as to remove any glucose deposition that might occur there. The reason being Jardiance increases glucose excretion through urine. This helps in better blood glucose control and even weight reduction. But if care is not taken, then there is a strong possibility of developing fungal infection of prepuce and tip of penis area....more

Dear sir, rbs 400 is too high. We need your fbs, ppbs and hba1c. Very important thing is that we have to check your retinal changes as well as kidney functions too. You can come to private consultation online and we can start your treatment. Till then make a habit of walking daily for 60 mins, strict diet should be followed.

Follow diabetes diet which simply means eating the healthiest foods in moderate amounts and sticking to regular mealtimes. A diabetes diet is a healthy-eating plan that's naturally rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories. Key elements are fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

Mr Vasudev, Thanks for the query.
You are multiple drugs for controlling blood glucose. The reason these drugs have been prescribed must be improperly controlled blood glucose. Plus you are also on a drug combination to reduce LDL & TGL. There is nothing like high or low dose. Drugs are given based on the need. Since there is no mention of either fasting, PP glucose HbA1c% or lipid profile, it is difficult to know how good the control is. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
It is very difficult to understand what you mean by"Glimepiride & Metformin are not working". As no details about blood glucose (fasting & PP levels) HbA1c% are given. So my suggestion is please come back with all the following details : Current fasting, Pp glucose levels, HbA1c%, weight, height, extent of daily exercise, diet pattern, lipid profile and BP readings. After going through those details I will be able to guide. Thanks.
