Mr Suresh, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. You haveonly mentioned HbA1c% and mean glucose level. There is no mention of either fasting and PP glucose which are more important considering the daily glucose levels for controlling the infection. Those values are more relevant. As regards the taking oral drugs you will have to continue taking all the earlier drugs along with Mixtard insulin also. Thanks.

Dosage. Metformin plain should be taken thrice daily with food however it varies according to the patient need but SR is prescribed once for a day since it has long duration of action. Kindly consult a Diabetologist in person since your body needs varies.
