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.

In pt of pcod there is increased insulin resistance ,metformin being a insulin sensitizer drug decreases the insulin resistance, it also helps in reducing wt and in ovulation. Total dose is 1500 mg taken in 2 or 3 divided doses.
Lifestyle changes for wt reduction should also be adopted.

please give following details: weight, height, waist circumference, fasting and pp (current) and hba1c%. Pioglitazone was banned only briefly, now it is available. Still better not to use. After I get all the details I would be able to guide. Your sugar levels now look good. But please give all the details.

According to the treatment you are getting, I can see the effort of your doctor. I think you should consider taking insulin atleast for one time in a day to control it along with your medication. As you have hba1c of 10.8, it's good for your health to start insulin atleast once daily. Pls consult to your doctor about it or you can consult me online m.

Hello sir. Going by your hba1c and blood glucose levels your diabetes looks under control. It is also important to keep your blood pressure in check with regular monitoring. In case of any symptoms pertaining to hypoglycemia like sweating, tremors or shaking in hands, dizziness on fasting then we can be concerned. Otherwise your number looks just fine. Take care.

The delayed version releases the drug more slowly and this usually eliminates the gastrointestinal problems.
