Hello, Thanks for the query.
It is difficult to say whether Glimiperide 2 mg equals Gliclazide 160 mg. There is no direct comparison done in that fashion. Thanks.

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic progressive disease characterized by resistance to insulin and gradual loss of beta cells which produce insulin. When you lose half of the beta cells your blood will show glucose above normal levels. In the initial stages diet which focuses on decreased insulin secretion (low carb diet), weight loss and excercise which helps to decrease resistance to insulin will help to decrease the glucose load on the pancreas in turn. What is lost is lost and it is hard to bring b...more

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.

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.
