I am diabetic from past 15 years. At present I am taking the following tables Morning Gemer 2 (half an hour before breakfast), Telma 40 after breakfast and in the night Gemer 2 (half an hour before dinner) and Pioz 7.5 mg (after dinner). My sugar levels are FBS (Fasting Blood sugar) 142, after 2 hours breakfast 280, before lunch 140, before dinner 146. Is it acceptable or not.

Mr Sridhar, Looking at your blood glucose readings, it is clear that levels are fairly high. There is no mention of HbA1c%, that would have given a clearer idea of the long term control. It appears that present treatment is not helping in achieving necessary control. There needs to be an upgrading of the treatment. Looking at your weight and height you have a BMI of 26.42 kgs/M2, (normal <23 kgs/M2). So there is need for weight reduction. If you are keen on controlling blood glucose effectively then please coe in a private conversation with details like Fasting, PP glucose levels (current), HbA1c%, dietary habits and extent of daily exercise, then I will be able to guide specifically. I am sure you are aware that controlling blood glucose as close as possible to normal levels is absolutely essential to either postpone or prevent long term complications of diabetes. Thanks
