Mother (56 years, Suffering diabetic from 2 years) When her blood test before and after fasting were 234 & 344. Then Dr. recommend 'TAB GEMER 2" (2 per day morning & evening) and After 15 days her blood samples were 154 & 190 better than earlier and nearing to the the control target (90-110) & (140-160) set by Dr. But now Dr. recommending "TAB GEMER 2 FORTE" (2 per day morning & evening) My doubt, when 1st mention TAB were giving better results, should we need to increase the dosage? Pls clarify my doubt Drs. Thank you, kumar.

It would be difficult to judge the decision because each individual diabetic patient is different and responds differently. Therefore, the best option for you would be to take a second opinion. Let the second doctor examine her and see all her earlier reports, and also know about her past history and present complaints. Let the expert doctor help you deal with it. Do not worry, but do the needful.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Since target levels of blood glucose are not reached, higher dosage of drugs might have been suggested. You may try that. However, there are other options available for achieving better blood glucose control, which may be tried. One is a strict dietary control, second is regular exercise of over 1 hour every day, increased intake of green leafy vegetables and salads and reduce starchy food intake. Then there are other medications also. Since you are already consulting the specific doctor so it is better to follow his guidelines. If you want me to guide then will have to come in a private conversation with following details: FBG, PP, HbA1c%, present dietary pattern and extent of daily exercise, then I will be able to guide. Thanks.
