Ideally follow one pathy rather than follow two different pathy.
Though the intention is same ie manage sugars and your mother's good health, but if any complications occurs then it's difficult to find out what is the cause.
You may consider continuing Glizid M.

My father aged 68, some 8 months back was diagnosed for Spine TB and he started on AKT4 for 2 months, AKT3 for the next month but had to stop due to vision loss and following 5 months was taking Rifampicin and Isoniazid. His vision is almost back with some eye power complaint. Recent blood report shows hemoglobin at 11.5. He has recently started to complaint about burning sensation while peeing and frequent urination. His Blood urea, BUN is high and so is creatinine = 1.77. I consulted general medicine doctor and put him on nefrolex for 5 days and then redo the KFT. However, after taking this medicine he was complaining of back pain, joint pain, fever, mouth rash, loose stool and high glucose reading. Its 9 days since he started neroflex and 4 days he has stopped, his is left with stomach pain and high glucose reading. Will the high blood glucose subside soon? He was at 99/153 before and is reporting 145/225 now. We have eliminated almost all carbs barring greens, salad and increased protein to prevent any ill effects. He is taking gliclazide for sugar control. FYI. He is taking 40 mg of pyridoxine, his blood work shows platelet count=130, ESR 70, CRP has come down from 67 to 8.4, LFT results are normal, Remarks of Hemogram: RBCs: Mild anisopoikilocytosis. Predominantly macrocytic normochromic with macroovalocytes. WBCs: Mild Leukopenia is present. Platelets: Appear mildly reduced in smear. Macroplatelets are seen. Urine has pus cells loaded.

I am 30 years old male. Few months back I have taken my random blood sugar test which result in 259. I was afraid and taken a fasting and pp blood sugar test which resulted in 190 fasting and 248 in pp. I consulted with one physician who suggested one medicine gliclazide 80 mg and metformin 500 mg once daily before breakfast. But still I am not getting proper reading. In diet I have avoided sugar, sweet dishes, rice, potatoes, sweet fruits etc. In breakfast I take 2 nos chapati with green vegetable like gourd etc and salads. In lunch 1 take 3 nos chapati and some cabbage, cauliflowers, radish, bitter gourd etc and same in dinner. By profession I am an engineer and work exercise regularly including morning walks and few cardiovascular exercises. My family history is well known for diabetes. My mother is a diabetic since last 25 years, my father is non diabetic with epilepsy since last 50 years, my grandfather was diabetic, my grand mother was diabetic, my maternal uncles were diabetic and my own uncles are also diabetic. So I know I am on high risk of getting diabetic but what can I do to avoid symptoms? What medicines should I take. Is there any possibility to revoke dm if started treatment, precautions early being this in too early stage say 2 months only. If required I can share my blood test reports for hba1c, bsf/pp, cbc, lft, kft, lipid profile etc. Please suggest.

Mr Lybrate-User, thanks for the query.
Your glucose levels mentioned (fasting & pp) both confirm that you have diabetes. Please check hba1c%, that will help in knowing how well is the control after starting treatment.
Even after taking gliclazide and metformin (80 + 500 mg once a day), blood glucose is not controlled, means the current treatment is inadequate. There is a need to upgrade it. Plus give a closer look at diet, exercise and weight. With bmi of 26.44 kgs/sq meter (normal < 23 ...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
It is bit strange to know that you are taking Glimiperide as well as Gliclazide as both drugs are similar in action. I do not understand how such a prescription is given. Any ways if you want to take any multivitamin it is finr. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
I have gone through the details given. I really do not see the reason to change to newer tablets, because earlier too you were on Tenelegliptin, then Dimicron (Gliclazide) with metformin. The newer tablets do not have Gliclazide, hence the blood glucose control will not be as good as earlier.
You should contnue the earlier drugs, plus take a restricted diet and do more exercise per day ove 1 hour. That will help in reducing HbA1c%. Thanks.

You have not mentioned your blood sugar fasting, pp and hba1c report.
It is better to start with first one as it contains two medicines and second contsins three. Monitor blood sugar and keep in touch with your doctor.

About my wife back pain started in her lumber and thoracic back portion in the month of feb. 2012. We started treatment under local doctor's advice and took pain killers and some muscle relaxant and pain healed. But, it got repeated every week and we did the same treatment for the span of month. After that we did total analysis and it was found that there is compression at d8-d-9 and infection from d8-d10 and l3-l4 of spine. Then we did biopsy (first biopsy) of developed lesions and all reports were normal. At this time othopedician doctor advise us that it can be non-detectable tb infection (as it is non-pulmonary) and we started akt-4 on the basis of symptoms even though mtb was negative up to 4th week of culture growth. She took akt-4 for 20 months (june 2012 to feb-2014). During last 6 months of this time of period she was absolutely fine and started normal movements which were restricted during initial part of treatment. Infection was healed partially, and lesions was also started to disappear. We monitored it by ct scan after every 3 months. But in dec 2014 when medicine supposed to stop completely, again sever back pain started and it was found that there is formation of pus and damage of tissues at d8-d10, l3-l4. During this time of period she suddenly lost her weight by 18 kg (within 15 days), so operated and currated all the pus and infected part from the infected location (second biopsy). That sample we again sent for all the lab tests and it is again negative for mtb. We cultured that sample further and it is fount that this is slow growing ntm (non tuberculin mycobacterium) infection. And rest of all test were normal. As it is very slow growing we cannot found out exact genome of that bacterium. So, at this time infectious disease specialist and spine specialist doctors took decision together and stop akt 4 and started her; 1. Amikacin sulphate 1g: daily im/iv 2. Clarrithromycin: 500mg twice a day 3. Doxycyclin and lactic acid bacillus: twice a day 4. Levofloxacin: 750mg once a day during this treatment only her bsl found high without any diabetic history; so she is also taking, 5. Reclide 80mg twice a day 6. Metformine 500 mg twice a day as amikacin daily 1 gm is very high dose we are monitoring her serum creatinine, lft, esr, crp level on weekly basis; and if serum creatinine level is above standard value doctor advising to stop amikacin for some time and once it comes to normal level again we are starting it. Rests of the medicines are same. Above mentioned medicine has been taken for 4.5 months and again we did contrast mri for analyzing effectiveness of therapy. But in this latest mri report it is found that there is new disease has been developed at d9-d10 vertebral bodies and intervention disc. So, we taken advice from Dr. Rajeev soman, hinduja, mumbai. He has diagnosed it as below; 1. Primary tuberculine infection 2. Secondary nosocomial infection 3. Non-tubeculine mycobacterium and prescribed following medicines for 6 months; 1. Inj. Tigecycline (tiganex) 50 mg, bd - 6 months 2. Tab. Clarrithromycine (synclar) 500 mg, bd - 6 months 3. Tab. Levofloxacine (levoflox) 750 mg, od - 6 months 4. Tab. Linezolid 600 mg, od - 6 months } now all medicines stopped due to severe side effect. Side effect recovery is going on. What should we do?

gfr 53 is low, means kidneys are affected due to long term diabetes. Apart from gliclazide what other medications are you taking? how are sugar levelsand hba1c%. If diabetes is in check nephropathy can also be controlled. Do you have high blood pressure, if so what are the drugs for that? few precautions restrict salt intake and do not eat more proteins. Please inform me otherdetails.
