Mr. lybrate-user, 340 mg of blood glucose is very high level and it is dangerous too. If not well treated can lead to severe complications of diabetes. Tablet Jalra (Vildagliptin 50 mg) is a good drug used to treat diabetes Type 2. Normally it is very well tolerated. As regards the second name mentioned, I am not aware as to what is (or are) the ingredients. It will be good if you give following details like fasting, PP glucose levels, HbA1c%, dietary pattern & extent of daily exercise, plus wei...more

lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query.
Madam you have mentioned quite a few drugs, which you want to take. Even though your glucose levels are too high, it is difficult to say whether you can all of these. The treatment for diabetes is not just taking a bunch of medicines which reduce glucose. Each medicine has a specific role and based on each patients needs the treating doctor decides how to begin the treatment. Plus it is also necessary to know patient's age, dietary habits, kidney functi...more

Medical history- i'm 56, female, diabetic since ten years approx. My fasting glucose remains around 240 while pp around 290. I've been taking medicines (galvus met 50/1000 mg and amaryl 2 -both bd) since long, but my sugar levels didn't show any significant changes and hence my doctor added vogliboz 0.3 tds to my regime (two weeks back). Last, I got my glucose levels tested yesterday and they are still the same, only a mild reduction registered. I walk 3-4 kms daily in the morning, apart from that I don't have any other physical activity on schedule. My last month's thyroid report- (t3/t4-normal tsh-low-0.21 iu/ml) i'm currently on thyroxine 75 mcg as well. Main problem- my toe nails have been showing an inward growth since an year or two, which has now started causing pain. I feel soreness in my left toe almost all the time, while it hurts insanely whenever it contacts any hard surface. Nailbed has become so thickened, that it is not possible for me to cut the toenail myself. What should I do to curb this problem? Also i'm having a little pain in my heels and ankles lately, but it is not much significant. And my doctor told me that I will need to switch to insulin, if my sugar levels remain the same after two months. Can I not be treated with oral drugs anymore?

From your history it sounds like you hv developed ingrown toe nai. Along with fungal infection of nail (onychomycosis). Correct diagnosis to be made only after proper examination. For acute pain you can take nsaids (like aceclofenac). Once the pain is subsided, you can cut the ingrown portion of toe nail (or removal of matrix of nail. For onychomycosis pulse dose of cap itraconazole is given along with topical (like cyclopirox olamine/ amorolfine lotion). Visit nearst dermatolgist. Thanks.

Thanks for your Query.

Your information is incomplete. For better advice you should give both FBS, PPBS and also HbA1c. Secondly you didn't mention the dose of Glycomet..!!

Thirdly Galvus met should be taken twice daily for effective action.

Let me know more details for complete advice.

For any further information or advice you can book an online consultation with me on Lybrate. Thank you. Take care till then.
