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

Mr. Lybrate-user, looking at the details provided, it is possible to reduce your hba1c% <7, by just increasing your daily exercise by a few minutes and also by adujusting daily intake marginally. There is no need to add any additional drug. You are really maintaining blood sugar levels quite well. Keep it up. With regards.

Hi
You have maintained a good HbA1C value. Individual high blood sugars depends on what you eat prior to it. Have a high protein diet to keep your blood sugars low. Have an early dinner. Avoid high calorie food for dinner.
if your a non vegetarian include 2 egg whites everyday for breakfast and you can consume skinless chicken and fish.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. From that I learn that you are not having adequate control on blood glucose and high bp. However, there is no mention about tsh values (to know whether hypothyroidism is in control or not), as well as lipid profile.
To give any suggestions about upgrading the treatment, I need to know following details: current fasting, pp glucose levels, hba1c%, present diet pattern, drugs for diabetes with dosage, dosage of thyroxin...more
