Pioglar G 15 Mg/2 Mg Tablet Health Feed

Your sugar levels are very well controlled. Please make sure you don't get hypoglycemic episodes otherwise dose adjustment has to be done.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query
You have mentioned the drugs and dosage being taken, but there us no mention of blood glucose levels and HbA1c%, so I am unable to know whether glucose is well controlled or not.
Another aspect you are taking 30 mg of Pioglitazone, which is the maximum dose recommended. It is better if that is reduced to 15 mg a day. Please let me know the glucose levels and HbA1c% Then only I can comment. Plus I need to know the diet pattern and extent of exercise,...more

Dear Lybrate user, I understand that you have been doing quite a bit of research on the medications, but I just want to make one correction. You are right about pioglitazone, but not the glimepiride whose main function is to stimulate insulin production from the pancreas and not to reduce insulin resistance. This is done by mostly metformin and pioglitazone. Hence you are taking combination of 2 tablets with similar function. If your sugars are controlled and you are not getting any side-effects...more

First we should measure his lipid profile and hba1c levels in blood and than we can change the drugs

Hello both sugar and bp levels are high. Get examined by Dr. immediately.

Dear lybrate-user,
I find that your father is quite overweight his correct weight should be about 55-60 kg. I suggest that he go on a strict diet (low carbohydrate, normal protein and fat, walk about 5 km per day and gradually reduce weight to about 60 kg. Keep monitoring his sugars at home with a glucometer (fasting and 2 hours after each meal) once a week if the sugars get under control with this dietary modification he may not need additional medication

Addition of metformin will restrict your insulin dose.You can stop glimipride in glycomet Gp 3/850 instead you can use glycomet 1000mg twice a day.You can stop jalra also because it is effective in early years of disease.

Hello, you have to take medicines lifelong for this and keep bp and sugar both under control. If you will keep regular follow up and bp & sugar remains under control, you won't be having any problem. If you have any queries yet or uncontrolled sugar and wanna modify medicines, msg me with details and I will be glad to help.

You have to adjust insulin doses after consulting diabetologist and switch over to other oral drugs since it is not working
1. Do regular aerobic exercise for 1 hour daily (brisk walking, jogging, running, swimming, cycling etc)

It seems that the diet also is not being followed. Please follow strict diet and exercise. Continue current medicines and add tab olymprix 20 mg one after breakfast and tab pioz 15 mg one after dinner. Check blood sugars after 10 days and consult your doctor.
