Glumet 850 MG Tablet Health Feed

Gestational diabetes (diabetes detected during pregnancy) is quite common in india. Usually a 75 g glucose is given for doing a oral glucose tolerance test (ogtt), to detect gestational diabetes. Gdm is diagnosed if 2 hour blood sugar is above 140 mg. The recommended management is to start the patient on medical nutrition and help control blood sugar for 2 - 3 weeks if not controlled, start on insulin injections. Oral drugs are not recommended.

You can achieve further control of your sugar if you don't have any symptoms of low sugar Also do your HbA1c.

Get your blood sugar monitoring regularly, stick to diabetic diet, exercise regularly, be in touch with your doctor. If blood sugar levels start falling, your doctor will reduce your medicine.

You should keep checking your blood glucose fasting and 2 hrs post food regularly. You may have developed some mild GI side effecr with your previous medicine which are gone with the new that tou have started. But hypoglycemia is a risk which can be prevented with regular monitoring. For chronic pancreatitis patient with diabetes this combination is okay. But insulin will be better in acute pancreatitis or with increased abdominal pain any time. Keep monitoring.

Dear user,
Hypoglycemia is when it is lower than 60 when who need to take sugar bolus
Hopefully your questions is answered.

Start with tab gluconorm g1 one daily and get your fasting and pp blood sugar levels done and revert back to me for further assistance.

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.

Hi lybrate-user, you have not mentioned your glycemic status with twice daily dose of metformin. Check your tsh level and 25 (oh) vitamin d level. Consult your physician / diabetologist for further management.

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.

Please don`t increase dose of medicine without consulting. Better you add other medicine tab glimipyride 1 mg 2 times before food. Or you take combination, tab gluformin g 1 two times before food. I like to advice for self measurement of sugar by glucometer, 3 times a day and inform after 7 days.
