My mother is 62 years old. She used to take trajenta 5 mg but her hba1c use to remain between 5.2 to 5.8 always. So she stopped taking the medicine since last 4-5 months. Then also her fasting and pp sugar when measurured use to be 140- 160 approx. But today when measured after around a month the results show h1. Kindly suggest which medicine she can take now to reduce the sugar level. Thank you.

It seems that mother has not followed diet recently. Glucometer showing hi sometime need a reconfirmation. You should again check her fasting and post lunch blood sugars. Meantime ask her to follow strict diet and exercise. You can restart tab trajenta 5 mg but however in view of high sugars she may require one more tablet which can be decided on blood sugars levels.

Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. For diagnosing diabetes following criteria are considered : FBG 126 mg and above, PP 200 mg and above, HbA1c% 6.5% and above. In that situation if her FBG was around 140 mg, means she had diabetes. Since now she is not on treatment please give following details : current FBG, PP & HbA1c% values. Plus her weight, height and dietary pattern as well as extent pf daily exercises if any. Plus her lipid profile and BP readings. Then only I will be able to comment or give any suggestions. Thanks.
