Volibo 0.2 MG Tablet Health Feed

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for your query.

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

Such high hba1c level is not at all satisfactory. Pls mention your fbs ppbs, s creatinine level, s lipid profile level. Treatment is not at all satisfactory. You can consult online with all reports. Definitely it can be taken down.

Fasting blood sugar is not acceptable need to increase medicine after clinical evaluation by physician.

Continue same dose for 2 weeks and then repeat fasting and pp blood sugar and inform.

Yes metformin and voglibose be taken at a same time. Both are the diabetic medications,and Voglibose prevents absorption of sugar from foods whereas the metformin controls insulin effects

lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query.
Madam you have mentioned quite a few drugs, which you want to take. Even though your glucose levels are too high, it is difficult to say whether you can all of these.

Good morning, Before getting advice you should give the details of F/Pp, HbA1c, Height and weight, duration of diabetes and any associated problems including other medications if take, that will be good for you. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
The details given are unclear. Since there is no mention of actual fasting, PP glucose levels,& HbA1c% there is no way to give any suggestions. Because by saying " sugar level & HbA1c5 are in good control" I do not understand what is considered as normal. thanks.

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.
