Now 2 days back I checked my blood sugar and the result is fbs-106 as and pp-158. I reside at berhampore, wb and my doctor resides in kolkata. I consulted my doctor that my weight is being decreased and it came down from 58 kgs to 50 kgs. Hearing my report he asked me to stop oxra and to continue gemer ds4 (1/2) tab before breakfast and teniva m forte (1/2) tab after dinner. I consulted with the doctor over phone as he is unable to attend at berhampore due to lock down situation. He usually comes to berhampore once in a month. But due to lock down he is unable to come to berhampore. Now my problem is that my weight became 50 kgs from 58 kgs and I am feeling weak very much.

I wanted to ask my doctor about the matter over phone repeatedly but his phone is switch off. Under the above please suggest me can I take ensure powder for diabetic for recovering from weakness and to gain some weight. I shall remain ever grateful to you for this act of kindness.

It is better to look for the cause of weight loss instead of taking ensure powder. Get your blood sugar fasting, pp and hba1c test done and consult a physician available in your town.

Hello, Thanks for the query. Based on the given information, with FBG 106 mg & PP 159 mg, your blood glucose appears in good control. However, with stopping of Oxra (Dapagliflozin) is there any change in the glucose levels? That needs to be seen. I am unable to understand why you are taking half tablet of Gemer DS Forte when There is Exactly same content tablet Gemer 2 PR is available giving 2 mg of glimiperide and 500 mg of metformin. Similarly why half tablet of Tenvia M Forte, when Tenvia M is available? Have checked the HbA1c% recently or get it checked now, that will give a better idea of glucose control. You can add eggs to your diet also fish, which offer better proteins. That will help improve weight. Ensure powder may be taken, but it offers a full breakfast replacement. You may try it. However, glucose levels need to be well maintained. Do you do any exercises? If yes how much time is spent> Because it is important to exercise regularly for even improving muscle mass.Thanks.

Your blood sugars were under good control. Oxra can cause weight loss, so you can stop it but monitor your blood sugars metformin which is present in gemer-ds4 and teniva m forte also causes weight loss. Ensure powder can increase your blood sugar, so it is not recommended for you. We need to look for other causes of weight loss also. Do you have any other complaints? Take a healthy balanced diet, you can include egg, fish, sprouts to increase your protein in diet. Also do some blood tests hba1c, kft, lft, urine albumin.
