Glyciphage 500 MG Tablet SR For Type 2 Diabetes

Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. However, there is no mention of after food glucose level and hba1c%. Fasting glucose 117 mg is showing a good level, but other two parameters are very vital to know. Long standing diabetes does lead to problems like peripheral neuropathy and even ed is quite often seen. This happens because small blood vessels supplying the penile muscle are affected. Strict blood glucose control does help in preventing most of the long term complications but there is no guarantee of that not happening. Ideally at your age fasting glucose should be< 100 mg, pp 150 to 160 mg & hba1c% < 6.5%. Thanks.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, I note that your blood sugar after breakfast is quite high. You have not mentioned your height or weight. If you are overweight (weight in kg more than height in cm minus 100) then you will have tobe very strict with diet, avoid carbohydrates as much as possibel and take more proteins and vegetables. If you also walk for 1 hour per day you can reuce about 1 mg weight per month. If youbring your weight down ot ideal body weight then your sugars may remain under control with only glyciphage, if you are not overweight a different approach is needed and you can take an online consultation and we can hep you

Diabetes is a progressive disease. The oral drugs work as long as the body is producing it’s own adequate insulin. The drugs which he is currently taking stimulates insulin making cells to produce more insulin thus controlling sugars, but with time the insulin making cells don’t make enough insulin to control the metabolic needs thus the sugar levels goes up. So at this point one would ideally need insulin. You have not mentioned his current hba1c and kft. If he is reluctant for insulin. We can try new oral drugs like sglt2 inhibitors. For further details about this you can consult online.

Hi lybrate-user, I understand your concern. If your post meal sugars are not getting controlled since a year. There are two options. One is - there are few good medicines which have come recently which might help you to reduce your pp sugar. But you should consult your local endocrinologist who will evaluate if they are suitable for you or not. Second - as you are already on lantus. You can start insulin to help control pp sugars also, which will reduce the no. Of tablets that you need to take but at the expense of twice or thrice daily insulin. This is the usual course of management in a patient with type 2 diabetes for a long period of time. Either of the options will help you, and it has to be decided in association with your treating doctor, and which ever option helps you it is best to proceed with that as the more time you delay the more time body stays in high sugar environment and it is more damaging than multiple doses of injections to control that sugar.
