Metadoze-Ipr 850 MG Tablet SR Health Feed

Hello,
In gestational diabetes your aim should be to keep fasting blood sugar less than 95 and postprandial blood sugar less than 120. It's important that along with drug treatment you practice medical nutrition therapy which includes calorie restriction, taking small meals at frequent intervals and 10 min walk after lunch and dinner along with light intensity exercises.
Yes, drug treatment with metformin (glycomet) is safe and can be continued. However if treatment with metformin does n...more

You have not mentioned your blood sugar fasting, pp and hba1c report.
It is better to start with first one as it contains two medicines and second contsins three. Monitor blood sugar and keep in touch with your doctor.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. It is good to see that glucose levels are quite well controlled with only Metformin. As regards taking the vitamin supplement, it can be taken once a day. Taking extra is of NO USE. Tanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
Since you are already on metformin and have hba1c% 6.5%, means there is diabetes. As you have not provided any other information like weight, height, dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise, serum creatinine & urea, as well as lipid profile, there is no way to say anything further. Please come back with all the necessary details, then only I will be able to give any specific advice. Thanks.

Your sugar is controlled with diet restrictions, regular exercise and medicines.
There are fair chances of increasing blood sugar if you stop medicines.

Hello, Thanks for the query.

Another important aspect is your excessive weight. Because your present BMI (Body Mass Index) is 43.33 kgs /Sq meter(Normal < 23 kgs/Sq meter). Which means you are in very morbid (ve...more

As your sugar levels are still on the higher side there is need to change your drug dose like increasing the dose of salts present in glycomet GP that is metformin and glimipride. But do consult your treating doctor for the same. Along with it exercise daily including brisk walk of 20 min.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
With HbA1c% around 6 %, your glucose control is really good. Taking Metformin does help in achieving that consistently. Stopping the drug may not be good. Thanks.

Please consult a diabetician and my advice is don't take any medicines for diabetes make it under control by eating habits and lot of salads and some homeopathic medicines and call me on 9406160991.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Since there is no information on fasting, pp glucose, hba1c%, lipid profile, dietary pattern & extent of daily exercise, there is no way to give any suggestion. Secondly your bmi (body mass index) is 28.65 kgs/sq meter (normal < 23 kgs/sq meter) which means you have an excess of over 15 kgs. This is a major hindrance in better glucose control. Plus I do not understand the reason for changing the medication. Please come ba...more
