I am 54 years old having problem of slow urine discharge frequently since last one year. I consulted one of the urologist and he described the reason as increase in prostate gland.

Hello.

I would recommend you to keep taking allopathic medicine for diabetes as it can only be controlled with the help of with any of the pathies!

For your BHP (benign hypertrophy of prostate), if the condition is in initial stage then you can think of having homoeopathic medication - Sabal Serrulata Q/ 10 drops in 1/2 cup of water/ thrice daily for 4 weeks, after that revert me back.

But if the prostate is enlarged and is in later stage, then now and later there is ...more

Hello Doctor I have been suffering from allergic bronchitis for Past two years and after taking medicines temporarily the problem is resolved. However as this is recurring disease I need medications so that this problem can be taken care of since as now there is a whistle like sound whenever I breath and keep throwing out a white colour clear phlegm, also my chest itches whenever I throw the phlegm out and there is a lot of chest tightness. Last time the infection was a little high and I was given Avil+Betnesol injection to get rid of the infection with montek LC and grilinctus syrup. As this has recurred again, could you please suggest some medicines which can help cure this problem of mine. I have been suffering from type 2 diabetes for last 3 years under medication of Galvus Met, lipicard 160 and amaryl 1 mg and my weight is 120 kgs and I my age is 30 years old. Have recurrent bouts of allergic rhinitis which is seasonal and goes away after few days. Other medical conditions include allergy from brinjal and fennel seeds as the upper portion of my mouth starts itching severely. Can confirm I do not have any other health issues.

Medical history- i'm 56, female, diabetic since ten years approx. My fasting glucose remains around 240 while pp around 290. I've been taking medicines (galvus met 50/1000 mg and amaryl 2 -both bd) since long, but my sugar levels didn't show any significant changes and hence my doctor added vogliboz 0.3 tds to my regime (two weeks back). Last, I got my glucose levels tested yesterday and they are still the same, only a mild reduction registered. I walk 3-4 kms daily in the morning, apart from that I don't have any other physical activity on schedule. My last month's thyroid report- (t3/t4-normal tsh-low-0.21 iu/ml) i'm currently on thyroxine 75 mcg as well. Main problem- my toe nails have been showing an inward growth since an year or two, which has now started causing pain. I feel soreness in my left toe almost all the time, while it hurts insanely whenever it contacts any hard surface. Nailbed has become so thickened, that it is not possible for me to cut the toenail myself. What should I do to curb this problem? Also i'm having a little pain in my heels and ankles lately, but it is not much significant. And my doctor told me that I will need to switch to insulin, if my sugar levels remain the same after two months. Can I not be treated with oral drugs anymore?

From your history it sounds like you hv developed ingrown toe nai. Along with fungal infection of nail (onychomycosis). Correct diagnosis to be made only after proper examination. For acute pain you can take nsaids (like aceclofenac). Once the pain is subsided, you can cut the ingrown portion of toe nail (or removal of matrix of nail. For onychomycosis pulse dose of cap itraconazole is given along with topical (like cyclopirox olamine/ amorolfine lotion). Visit nearst dermatolgist. Thanks.

You have not mentioned your pp blood sugar and hba1c level to suggest you properly. Any way you need to increase your medicines if you are on strict diet control and doing regular exercise.

Thanks for your Query.

Your information is incomplete. For better advice you should give both FBS, PPBS and also HbA1c. Secondly you didn't mention the dose of Glycomet..!!

Thirdly Galvus met should be taken twice daily for effective action.

Let me know more details for complete advice.

For any further information or advice you can book an online consultation with me on Lybrate. Thank you. Take care till then.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the query. However, there is no mention of how the glucose levels are controlled. It is essential to know fasting & pp levels as well as hba1c% before any comment can be made or any suggestion is given. As regards dapagliflozin and vildagliptin+ metformin combination usage, both these (dapagliflozin & vildagliptin) are totally different drugs. One can not be substituted for the other. Mode actions are totally different. Thanks.
