My mother, 74 yes, is a heart patient and diabetic. Her uric acid is a little high 6 75 and creatinine is also increased (1.28). Hba1c is 7.5 hb 11.1. Is there any medicine that she can take for arthritis pain with all the allopathic medicines without any side effects. Also suggest any treatment to lower blood sugar levels. She's taking trajenta 2.5/500 for sugar.

Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. Except for uric acid (which is slightly high), rest of the parameters are quite normal. Her hba1c5 7.5% is very marginally high. Considering the age of her diabetes control is fairly good. A marginal adjustment in diet and an increase in physical activity will help in achieving much better control. As regards higher uric acid, if she is taking non -vegetarian food, then that should be restricted. She should consume more of green leafy vegetables, salads and fruits. If joint pain is more, then some NSAIDs can be taken. Thanks.
