Olmy tab is for high blood pressure. So if you have hypertension you should not skip that. Glucnorm and glycomet tabs both have same combinations. So there is not much of difference in side effects even if you change the drug. These tabs have glimepride which causes frequent hypoglycemia so that dizziness occurs. If you don't want that. You should update to a better tablet combination. Probably available with higher cost.

Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. Sometimes it is seen that the tablet taken, particularly if it is sustained release or extended release type, then it does appear in the stools. But the medicine contained in it is almost utilised. Only the material used for making it remain for long time in the gut is coming out. There is no reason to worry at all. More importantly it is necessary to see that your blood glucose is maintained with in the specified limits like: fbg < 100 mg or closer to it. Pp 150 to 170 mg & hba1c% < 7% considering your age. Since there is no mention about that aspect in your details, no further comments or suggestions can be given. Usually if one is on same drug/s for a very long time, then effect wares off. So there may be a need to look at over all treatment which includes drugs, dietary pattern & extent of daily exercise. Therefore, if you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query. I am sure you must have seen the ingredients of both these tablets. There is hardly any difference as glycomet trio 2 contains voglibose 0.2 mg & the other tablet has voglibose 0.3 mg. So there is hardly any difference. Both tablets have similar effect. Most important is you should be able to maintain your fbg < 100 mg or closer to it. Pp 150 to 160 mg & hba1c% < 6.5%. At that level you will be able to maintain a good health, plus postpone or prevent long term complications associated with diabetes. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. However, there is only mention of medication being taken. That does not give any idea about how is the actual glucose control, because there is no information on fasting, pp glucose, hba1c%, dietary pattern, lipid profile, extent of daily exercise and bp readings. As regards changing a brand of metformin hardly matters. Unless above information is provided I am unable to comment or give any suggestions. Another important aspect is that with 95 kg weight you are already quite over weight, your ideal body weight should be about 80 kgs which means there is an excess of over 15 kgs. This affects insulin action and in turn glucose control. I am sure you are aware at your age ideally fbg should be < 100 mg, pp 150 to 160 mg & hba1c% < 6.5%. If you have any questions lease do come back. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. It is good to see that glucose levels are quite well controlled with only Metformin. As regards taking the vitamin supplement, it can be taken once a day. Taking extra is of NO USE. Tanks.
