In pt of pcod there is increased insulin resistance ,metformin being a insulin sensitizer drug decreases the insulin resistance, it also helps in reducing wt and in ovulation. Total dose is 1500 mg taken in 2 or 3 divided doses.
Lifestyle changes for wt reduction should also be adopted.

Glycomet is milder than istamet 50/500 .As glycomet contains only metformin where as in istamet 50/500 is a combination of sitaglyptin and metformin.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Glycomet 1gm contains only metformin 1000 mg and the other tablet contains glimiperide 1 mg with 1000 mg of metformin. So the second tablet is much stronger in action and should be able to give a better glucose reduction. I am a bit surprised that with a better combination your glucose level has increased. So I feel there is a need to look at overall treatment including following details: fasting, pp glucose levels, hba1c%, dietary ...more

Olmy tab is for high blood pressure. So if you have hypertension you should not skip that. Glucnorm and glycomet tabs both have same combinations. So there is not much of difference in side effects even if you change the drug. These tabs have glimepride which causes frequent hypoglycemia so that dizziness occurs. If you don't want that. You should update to a better tablet combination. Probably available with higher cost.

Hi -happy to help you. I can say that diabetes is biggest problem in india. So not merely sexual capacity but we should think all disorders & prventions. You can go for a 1200- 1400 kcal/day diet plan. No sugar, take gourds more, briown rice, citrus fruits etc. Curd (sour), skim milk, low rice but more whole grains/multi grains, low fried foods, no out side junk, best all home made foods, no stress, yoga/ exercises help more.

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. Because...more

You will need to work on your weight. Once wt reduction achieved periods will regulate on its own. Metformin will just help with it loss aiding period regulation. Good luck.
