I have a consistent hike in my blood sugar. Please suggest.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If your blood sugar level is above 200 mg/dL, you may need a change in the dosage of your medication. You might need to increase the dosage of the existing medication, or you may require a new medication. You have not mentioned the exact dosage of Metformin and Glimepiride that you are currently taking. The medication and the dosage are decided by the doctor based on various factors like age, weight, previous medical history, duration of diabetes, other medical conditions, other medications and the condition of your vital organs. It may not be ideal to give you a prescription without doing a clinical examination and evaluation of laboratory parameters. Hence I suggest you meet your diabetologist for proper clinical assessment. For the hernia issue, it is essential to understand the stage of the disease. It helps to determine whether it needs conservative treatment or whether there is a need for surgery. It can be decided only by a qualified surgeon after a detailed clinical examination, and it involves various steps.
