Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the query. The details given are too general. As I understand your mother of 67 years has diabetes for 13 years. She was well controlled , but now she is not having proper control due to ( according to you) a ban on certain combination.
First of all the three drug combination brands are still there. Secondly there is no mention about her earlier of current glucose levels (Fasting & PP) as well as HbA1c%. No mention about dietary pattern, weight, ...more

I have been taking glitaris m7. 5/500 one tablet after dinner for sugar control for more than 10 years. This has been banned again in india. My endocrinologist is of the opinion that I should not stop pioglitazone (the reason, it facilitates utilization of insulin in body cells). Secondly, I am taking it in low intensity (7.5 mg). My questions are the following. 1. Does it have harmful effect? 2. Is the side effect related to quantity of pioglitazone one is taking? Meaning, is to safe to take it in low amount as in my case? 3. Though this tablet is banned, glitaris 7.5 mg is available in market (exclusive pioglitazone). Can I take this with one additional tablet glycomet 500 (metformin)? If yes, 4. If combination tablet glitaris m7. 5/500 is unsafe (because it is banned) then how the same in separate form, glitaris 7.5 + glycomet 500, can be safe?

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
As told by your endocrinologist pioglitazone does help insulin action by reducing resistance to its action. The combination has been banned because it is considered as irrational to have certain "fixed dose" combinations. Because it is difficult to make dosage adjustment in asuch a combination. However, using those separately is absolutely fine. Plus if you have been getting good glucose control with those drugs, then please do use separately. At the d...more

Hello,

Yes you can have results in fact high fiber content fruits will help you manage your blood sugar levels better.
Tea can be taken by cutting down half amount of sugar, which you generally use.
Add ginger, mint, cardamon to your tea, to compensate on the taste of sweet tea.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. There is no mention of fasting, pp glucose values, hba1c%, present dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise, weight and height, plus bp readings and lipid profile. To give any kind of suggestion or advise I need to know all the above details.
When diabetes is well controlled fasting glucose should be < 100 mg, pp 160 to 170 mg & hba1c% < 6.8. Thanks.

Dear sir/madam,
I never seen a person who died due diabetes and did not take medicines. So, keep that in mind that only medicine can't make you fit.
A proper diet plan is the main solution for type 2 diabetes.
If you think, you can can contact me directly.
