It is better you get a test called as Hba1c done. It will give an idea of the average sugar level in your body over past 3 months. It will help to decide whether you need a dose increment/change of medicines.

Sir, how can a diabetic patient know his pancreas is functioning and releasing some insulin. What might be reason for glucose level not coming down despite medication like metformin, glimepiride, voglibose and teneligliptin kindly enlighten. Kindly refer the question to an endocrinologist please.

Get your c-peptide test done after 8 hour fasting. C-peptode is a amino acid complex released when a molecule of proinsilin breaks down to insulin hence it is an indirect measurement of insilin. Normalrange is 0.5-2 ng/ml of blood. If your c-peptide is less than normal means insulin is less and indicates type 1 diabetes, if more than more insulin is produced as in type 2 diabetes.

Asked for male, 28 years old from Chennai

I am type 2 diabetic. I am aged 25 yrs. I have consulted many doctors but most of all are suggesting either Istamet 50/500 mg or Janumet 50/500 mg or highly priced tablets. The cost is too high for these two tablets. There are other indian variant called Zita met which has Metformin (500 mg, Teneligliptin (20 mg) from Gelnmark. Teneligliptin is next generation of sitagliptin which was patented by mersk. Can I use this tablet instead of janumet and istamet?

Your husband is actually taking three medications in the form of two medicines. Tendia is a gliptin and it helps to lower your blood sugar by increasing incretin levels. Glycomet gp contains metformin and glimepride. Glimepride helps to lower your insulin by helping pancreas to produce more insulin. Metformin decreases glucose absorption and increases glucose utilisation. Metformin helps to decrease your fasting sugar while glimepride helps in decreasing your sugar after you have food.

For bp Starpress xl-50 once, Rozat-10, Telma-40 each at night time. Still my sugars are uncontrolled varying between 200- 280 random. I walk for 1 hr regularly and moderate eater too. Please advice.

Dr. J.K.90%(1598 ratings)

Glimipride at this stage of disease probably is of no use. You need a change in your insulin. I will advise plain insulin in place of mixtard. Zitamet can be increased to 50/1000 twice a day. Basalog should continue.
