Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
Looking at your fasting and pp glucose levels, it is clear that diabetes is not at all in control. Ideally in a well controlled diabetes fasting glucose should be < 100 mg & pp 160 to 170 mg and hba1c% < 7, considering your age. It is clear that present medication is not helping, there is a need for upgrading the treatment. Apart from that there is a need to give a closer look at the diet and extent of daily exercise being done. Therefore, you may plea...more

Mr. Lybrate-user kumar, the present treatment looks quite good. Fasting and pp levels are a bit high, but those can be managed by following a more strict diet and exercise schedule. I feel there is no further need to add any drugs. Her bmi is 27.55 kg/ m2, which shows she is overweight. Her ideal body weight should be 59 kgs. So all her food intake (calories) should be calculated considering that weight and extent of daily physical exercise and blood sugar levels. Even if she reduces 5 to 7 kgs,...more

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.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for your query.
The drugs mentioned Glimepiride and Voglibose are different in their action.
Metformin is supposed to reduce or delay glucose absorption and hence slows down blood glucose rise after taking food. Plus it also reduces insulin resistance hence helps blood glucose control. There are other beneficial effects like helps slight weight reduction.
Glimepiride is a sulphonylurea compound, it stimulates insulin secretion by the beta cells of pancreas, t...more

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the query. The information is not enough to give any specific suggestion. I need to know following details :exact fasting, pp glucose, hba1c%, dietary pattern, extent of exercises being done daily, lipid profile, bp readings, serum creatinine and urea. Without all the details, it is not possible to give any specific suggestions.
So please do come back with all the necessary information that I have mentioned. It is better if you come bac...more
