Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. At 38 years your hba1c% should ideally be < 6.5% & fbg <100 mg & pp <150 mg. If these values are attained then you will be able to remain free from or prevent the long term complications associated with diabetes. Therefore, with present hba1c% of 7.4% it is clear that there is a need to look at your overall treatment which includes drugs, diet & extent of daily exercise plus maintaining near normal body weight. Since ther...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
Both jardiance (dapagliflozin) and canagliflozin have similar action as both belong to sglt - 2 inhibitor class of drugs. May I know the reason for changing from one to the other? If your physician has recommeded it then you may do so. Please give why the change is intended. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seem the details mentioned. Usually following any infection blood glucose levels do tend to go up, unless one takes all the required precautions in terms of diet and medications. In case of covid, if steroids are given during the treatment, then blood glucose bound to go up, because corticosteroids are known to increase blood glucose levels (they are diabetogenic).
As now you are on treatment if well controlled then your fbg should be < 100 mg, pp shou...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. You have just mentioned FBG levels, nothing about PP glucose and HbA1c%. Unless those values are known there is no way to give any suggestions. Plus there is no mention of your age. So please come back with following information : Age, HbA1c%, PP glucose, extent of daily exercise, dietary pattern and lipid profile, preferably in the private conversation. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Insulin is the best drug for treating diabetes. Usually in T2 DM it is used along with oral drugs. Shifting to some ayurvedic combination is not going to be any benefit at all. There are other options avilable like SCLT- 2 inhibitors, G: LP 1 analogues. If you come with full details in a private conversation (paid consultation) I will be able to advise suitably. Because in this communication we are supposed to give only general guidelines, no prescriptions are al...more

As long as your sugar is under control, you can afford one small drink. Always include 30 minutes of exercise in your schedule and eat out of need, not out of greed.
