Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am suffering from diabetes for five years and taking Metformin M2 Glimepiride 1 mg three times a day. Diabetes was under control for one month. Fasting was 180 mg/dL and PP is 360 mg/dL. After taking Vobit M3 daily one tablet before lunch, there is no control of diabetes. Please advise. My age is 57 years.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Firstly, I would like to ask you if these readings are after stopping the medications or while you were on them. Also, are you following a strict diabetic diet and doing regular exercise? I would like to stress on the fact that even if you are taking medications, your main savior would be a good diet and regular exercise. It helps decrease your medicine dosages and also helps making your body more sensitive to the actions of the medicines. If these are your blood sugar values with medications, they are of very high values. Mainly, you would have to meet a local doctor as soon as possible. And also, you should never stop your medications without a doctor's advice, as it will lead to more rise in your sugar levels. That can be a threat to your life. If oral medicines are no longer effective for you, you might require to be shifted to Insulin. This would be analysed best by a doctor.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
