Health Query

Dear Doctor .I need an advice regarding my sugar management as below -- I was noticed with PP sugar of 206 in Jan 2014 and fasting at 120. My HBa1c parameter was at 6.5. I was given Sugamet MC for almost nine months and testing was done every three months. Now -- 1.With sugamet MC 500 once a day my HBa1c is 5.6 and also the fasting sugar and PP sugar is with in normal book limits. 2.I stopped sugamet mc 500 3 months back. Now my parameters are as below -- HBa1c parameter is 6.0. Fasting sugar is 111 and PP sugar is 160 My question is --- 1.When I am in normal limits (ofcourse its near the upper limit) without medicine. Should I still take the medicine? 2.Is taking metformin preventive in nature? I mean taking Sugamet mc 500 still will prevent my sugar metabolism from worsening further? I am a regular exerciser. I spend one hour in a gym doing muscle and weight training exercises. Alternate days I go for fast walk for 2kms with stretching exercises. Its my regular routine. Diet Control ----I am on a strict diet regime. Artificial sugar in any form is out of my food list for past one year. Be it tea/coffee/milk/icecreams/sweets /cold drinks/ sharbats etc. I am consuming minimum qty of potatots and other vegetables etc which are forbidden to control sugar level. I am trying to live by book. I take oats / almonds and nuts as me breakfast before exercise. After coming from gym I take whey protein shake. Then I take my lunch at 11:30-12:00. I take mild snacks at around 5:00 p.M. Dinner is around 9:00 p.M. And Ofcourse half an hour walk after dinner daily. I am a strict vegetarian. Pls advise if I shd continue with medicine or not. Regards

My age is 53 years, and weight 82 Kg. I was diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus Type2, about 10 years ago. Initially I controlled it with diet , then after 4 years I was prescribed Metformin 250mg twice a day. Then since 3(Three) years I?ve been taking OZOMET ? PG1 twice daily with regular exercise and 4 Km morning walk. Of late since about 2 months due to a marriage in the family and cold winter mornings, there has been some unwarranted intake of sweetmeat and laxity in the regular exercise regimen, resulting in high blood-sugar levels ranging from 110-180 (Fasting) and 160-220 (PP). Kindly advise if I should increase the intake of the prescribed medicine or control the same with refrain from sweets and improve the regularity of exercise.

First try to control by improving your diet and increasing your exercise. If it is still uncontrolled then get your medicines adjusted.
