Therefore, there is a need to give a closer look at your current dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise and even the drugs being taken.
In this communication we are supposed to give only general guidelines about treatment and lifestyle management. No prescription ca...more

Dear Lybrate user, I understand that you have been doing quite a bit of research on the medications, but I just want to make one correction. You are right about pioglitazone, but not the glimepiride whose main function is to stimulate insulin production from the pancreas and not to reduce insulin resistance. This is done by mostly metformin and pioglitazone. Hence you are taking combination of 2 tablets with similar function. If your sugars are controlled and you are not getting any side-effects...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
It is bit strange to know that you are taking Glimiperide as well as Gliclazide as both drugs are similar in action. I do not understand how such a prescription is given. Any ways if you want to take any multivitamin it is finr. Thanks.

Dear lybrate-user as I can see your blood sugars are very much under control as per your recent reports, I suggest you to watch for low blood sugars symptoms (hypoglycemia). Till then you can continue the same regime #besafe.

According to the treatment you are getting, I can see the effort of your doctor. I think you should consider taking insulin atleast for one time in a day to control it along with your medication. As you have hba1c of 10.8, it's good for your health to start insulin atleast once daily. Pls consult to your doctor about it or you can consult me online m.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The dosage of various medicines for glucose control can be adjusted on the basis of patients needs, doctor's advise and also based on dietary intake. Usually Glimepiride is either given once a day or twice in some cases. Metformin can be given 3 times a day again depending upon the need. Voglibose is usually recommended with each meal, that is three times a day. As it is mainly for reducing post food glucose rise. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query.
From the details given I understand that you are on gluconorm 4 mg (how many times day?), plus metformin 1000 mg is once plus what is that "under 5 mg tablet? Fasting glucose 200 mg is definitely very high.
Another important aspect is your excess weight. With a bmi of 37.5 kgs/sq meter (normal < 23 kgs/sq meter) you have over 34 kgs extra. That itslef is an invitation for uncontrolled blood glucose. It is better if you come with clear details and current fast...more
