As a rule diabetic medicine should not be taken by a normal person. Intake of Metformin by a normal person can result in low body sugar or even fainting. Kindly do not do such experiments with your body. If you want to reduce weight, then change your food habits and lifestyle. Your body is already stressed due to excess weight and now this unwanted medicine will create more problems instead of solving any. Please avoid such dangerous experiments.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the query. It is incomplete. There is no information on what is the fasting, pp glucose level or hba1c%, or your weight, height, dietary pattern and extent of physical activity. So difficult to give any suggestions. Thanks.

Nitrosamines increase the risk of cancer at above acceptable levels over long periods of time. We don't expect short term exposure at levels above acceptable levels would increase cancer. However, consult a good physician for further information in this regard.

It is not a good substitute as piz mf contains two medicines-pioglitazone 7.5 mg and metformin 500 mg while Glycomet contains only one-metformin 500 mg in sustained release form.

Dear lybrate user!
what your doctor prescribed will keep you healthy, do not worry about the medicines.
1. Have a regular walking for 30 minutes daily
2. Avoid eating too much sweets and rice food
3. Finish your dinner 2 hrs before your bedtime
4. Take adequate rest, do not get tense for ease things.
5. Keep your health at your conscious level, do not panic too much by the numbers.
Thank you
have a healthy life through homoepathy

Mr. Lybrate-user, the tablet mentioned has 4 mg of glimiperide and 1000 mg metformin. This is a high dose particularly if some one is starting the treatment. Plus dose is also dependent on blood sugar levels both fasting and pp. Plus hba1c%. So I need to know that before guiding regarding whether to take that tablet or not. Thanks.

Ideally Metformin should be continued in pregnancy. Since you have polycystic ovaries, this will decrease your chance of developing gestational diabetes in pregnancy.
