It will not good to say anything with this short description. Just consult with nearby general physician or diabetologist. Because he has the heartattack history and also on the insulin and tablets so do not withdraw medicine suddenly, medicinal withdraw should be gradual by decreasing quantity ,firstly consult with physician for this.

Hello, thanks for the query. In general it is better to avoid alcohol for a diabetic person. The reason is that it has no nutritional value but provides empty calories. It also blunts hypoglycemic awareness. Once a while a small quantity may be taken. Thanks.

My doctor has asked me to take glycomet 500 and istamet 50/5000 1 tablet each 1-0-1 after food. Also asked to take oxra 10 mg in the morning only. Now I feel really tired even after food. I tested my ppbs and found 120 or below after 2 hrs of food and 80-90 before food. Is my medicines more (over dose. I had very serious sweet eating habit in last 6-9 months and the ppbs reached to 400lvele from my 160 level ppbs. Now I am back to strict diet and exercise. Is there is any way I can avoid taking tablets or reduce my doses.

Fasting blood sugar should be less than 126 and post prandial (after food should be less than 160) ideally. She might need a change in her dose or might need new medications. She needs to be reviewed by the physician. That being said, if there is a change in her routine i.e. She is getting less excercise or eating in an appropriate way that needs to be addressed.
