Sitagliptin Health Feed

Mr Dharmesh, Thanks for the query.
Janumet is containing Sitagliptin + metformin and Januvia 100 has only 100 mg Sitagliptin.
Doctor has asked you take the combination for better action. As regards the other medicine recommended by another doctor is it Homer 1 or Gemer1?
What is the HbA1c% value? What is mentioned is unclear.
If diabetes is under control then Fasting blood glucose should be <100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c%<6.8.
If you want any specific treatment advise pl...more

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Mentioned glucose levels are too high. In such case usually we adviseInsulin treatment for at least first 3 months along with oral antidiabetics then after achieving strict glucose control Insulin can be reduced or discontinued. That is always a better line of treatment. The reason is with such high glucose levels, beta cells are very severely affected. Hence early glucose control is advisable. Thanks.

hello sir , do walk daily and fix the meal timing .don't skip your meals. have small and frequent meals. take high fiber diet. take plenty of water. take plenty of fruits. avoid potatoes, fried foods, oily foods, junk foods, rice, pumpkin, sugar, sweet, glucose, egg yolk, gravy food.

For a diabetic it is best advised to have a diet planned as per the sugar levels, lifestyle and history.
Though you can follow some guidelines -
have small frequent meals.
Do not fast for more than 2-3 hours.
Avoid a very heavy meal at one time.
Avoid fruit juices, aerated drinks or sugarcane juice, honey, jaggery, sugar.
Avoid junk foods.
Exercise and stay active.
Do not attempt to try out too many remedies as you could go into hypoglycaemia.
Sleep well. It's...more

Glycomet is milder than istamet 50/500 .As glycomet contains only metformin where as in istamet 50/500 is a combination of sitaglyptin and metformin.

It depends upon what is fasting blood sugar, PP blood sugar and HbA1c .Currently your PP is very high .Get your Fasting and HbA1c also done.

IT should be taken with meals to help reduce stomach or bowel side effects that may occur during the first few weeks of treatment.

Swallow the tablet or extended-release tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, break, or chew it.

While taking the extended-release tablet, part of the tablet may pass into your stool after your body has absorbed the medicine. This is normal and nothing to worry about.

Sry, random does not reflect anything. Check years fasting and post 2 hours of year major meal every day for 10 days, share that chart with me, then we can help you see how is years control.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
You have mentioned only fasting glucose, it would have been better if after food values were also given. HbA1c% 8.6, is definitely high. Which means your blood glucose control has not been good during last few months. There is a need to upgrade the present treatment plus a closer look has to be given to your diet and daily exercise. You are on Glibenclamide, an old sulfonylura, it is better to change it to a newer compound. Thanks.

Miss lybrate-user. It would help if you could send me hba1c levels along with weight so that the titration of the mediation can be done.
Thank you.
