Hello, Thanks for the query.Your HbA1c% looks to be quite good, suggesting well controlled diabetes. However, in many patients with long standing diabetes, ED does develop. This is because diabetes affects microvasculature, hence blood supply to penile muscle leading to ED. The tablet that you are taking is good one. You can continue the same as and when required. Too frequent usage should be avoided. Thanks.

Your relative had suffered cv stroke most probably due to uncontrolled diabetes as evident from your description.
If treatment started within one hour of onset of stroke symptoms reverse in most of the patients.
As your doctor has advised speech therapy and physiotherapy means stroke features can not be reversed.
Further improvement will depend upon control of all risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia etc. And effective speech therapy and physiotherapy.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have gone through the information given. You have mentioned only the fasting glucose level. There is no information on after food glucose & hba1c%.

Ideally at her age fbg should be < 100 mg, pp should be around 150 to 160 mg & hba1c% < 6.5%. That ...more

At 65 yrs, hba1c is fine, but I would recommend to bring to 7, you can start with sitagliptin 100 mg once a day, and continue metformin and voglibose. Take vitamin d3 and vitamin b12 supplements, testerone levels decreases with age, tester one caps can be taken, but under guidance of urologist or sexologist.

Hi Mr. lybrate-user! as you have chronic pancreatitis, I would advise you not to take sitagliptin and other drugs belonging to that class, i.e, dpp4 inhibitors. Good that you stopped it. As the sugars, especially fasting bloood sugars are high inspite of taking a high dose of tablets, you may consider taking insulin at night which will bring down the fasting value.
