I am 41 years old male, 68 kgs, 5?11? height. I am type 2 diabetic since last 6 months. Initially my fasting blood glucose was 280 and it has reduced to between 90 and 105. HbA1c was 13.4 in May and it came down to 6 in August. I am taking a Istamet 59/500 tablet before breakfast and dinner. Earlier my weight was 75 but due diabetes it reduced to 67 earlier this year. My concerns is that I am not able to regain weight, I want to be 75 kgs again.
