Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. However, there is nothing mentioned about fasting, PP glucose levels and HbA1c%. So I am not aware about how well is your diabetes controlled. I am sure you are in a well controlled patient fasting glucose should be <100 mg or closer to `100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% at your age < 7%. As regards some mixture which you are mentioning I have no idea. If you feel it is good then you may take it. Thanks.

Usually giving more than 4 mg of glimiperide a day does not really help. However, she was on 8 mg, which is too high. In addition ther...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. She is definitely on multiple medications for controlling her blood glucose levels. The glucose levels and HbA1c % mentioned show there is very good control achieved. Which also means medications are working very well. One of the draw backs of very strict glucose control is the possibility of hypoglycemic episodes. Major contributor for that is the Insulin. So if there are repeated episodes, then pleas look at the possibility of r...more

According to your drug history, u are taking 5 types of antidiabetic drugs simultaneusly at this moment. I would suggest u to check your hba1c, urea, creatinine. If hba1c is higher than 8 % and your creatinine is more than 1. 5 despite taking all these medications, u should switch over to insulin which will be better for your health. For further help, u may be send me private message.
