There is nothing like perfection (especially regarding treatment of any health problems). Diabetes can be managed in a better way if you can assess your lifestyle and fine-tune some aspects which have a direct bearing on the sugar control. Please read about healthy habits for diabetes management from the internet and adapt them with patience and understanding. The intention behind healthy habits is to keep the body and mind fit and healthy while optimising the effect of medicines being taken. Yo...more

Mr p k mishra, istamet is a good combination in treating t2 diabetes, provided it is bringing your sugar levels to desired values. The combination is as safe as any other oral anti diabetic drug. And about being perfect, well there is no drug which is perfect except probably insulin injections. If your disease is well controlled and hba1c % is around 6.5% then you should continue the same. Along with this exercise and restricted diet are equally important and not to be over looked.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Usually in diabetes a dictum is followed that is" No fasting and No Feasting" Because both are not helpful in maintaining proper glucose levels.
However, if you are fasting and that means there absolutely no food intake, then it is better to avoid the dugs on that day. If you are eating some other alternate foods, then there is need to take the drugs. Thanks.
