He suggested me to have gtt which i did and i showed to a doctor who is a professor for diabetic centre and suggested me to have glimepiride m1with metformin 550 mg and the cobination medicine I used to take regularly half an hour before ,unch as per doctors advice. The sugar level fasting is 120 and pp level is 180/190. I consulted again the doctor and he suggested to take glimipride m1 two hours before and before having lunch to take metformin 5oo mg. Now the result shows little improvement with fasting 100/110 and pp after 2hours taken lunch to 170/180. When I requested doctor to increase the dosage he suggested to avoid taking coffee with sugar and to avoid sweet items. He also advised to have every fours lunch (normal lunch divided by twice) and dinner with wheat products. I am following his suggestions and my kidney and heart all normal. couls you suggest as to how to stop taking tablets with a normal food in order so that the amount of insulin my body produces is sufficient on day to day activities.

Hi thanks for using Chat Doctor What your doctor has done is correction require a combination therapy for better sugar control. Since your PP was very high. It is because of the Chat Doctor. In your age strict control of blood sugars are not advised because of the threat of Hypoglycemia.Hence, it is better to continue the same ...thank you ....
