Gluformin I 1000 MG Tablet Health Feed

The medicine does not increase insulin levels in the body, but instead lessens the amount of sugar the body produces and absorbs. As it lowers glucose production in the liver, metformin also lowers blood sugar by increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.
But you should not take any medicine without doctor's advise as it may be harmful.

Hi lybrate-user, you have not mentioned your glycemic status with twice daily dose of metformin. Check your tsh level and 25 (oh) vitamin d level. Consult your physician / diabetologist for further management.

Your blood sugar is high despite medicine.yu may have to take insulin or take combination of drugs to control diabetes. Consult diabetologist with blood report

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the given details. With hba1c% 6.8 % you are having diabetes. Pre-diabetic condition is considered when hba1c% is between 5.9 to 6.4%.hba1c% > 6.5% is diabetes.
Since you are on metformin 1000 mg twice a day, there is a possibility of getting its side-effects like repeated loos motions and other gastrointestinal symptoms also.
In the information there is no mention of your age, fasting and pp glucose levels also. Thanks.

Get your sugar levels checked fasting as well as pp of same day from lab not from glucometr. Along with hba1c. Reply with reports & all medicines with dose to click on private

Medical prescription is issued to a person only after his clinical evaluation.Hence please consult a qualified doctor near you.

Please don`t increase dose of medicine without consulting. Better you add other medicine tab glimipyride 1 mg 2 times before food. Or you take combination, tab gluformin g 1 two times before food. I like to advice for self measurement of sugar by glucometer, 3 times a day and inform after 7 days.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The glucose level mentioned (fasting around 200 mg) is too high. It means present treatment is not adequate enough. Ideally when properly treated fasting should be < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. At these levels one feels very fit and healthy. Plus long term complications of diabetes can be either postponed or prevented. Hence, there has to be an up-gradation of current treatment. Plus we will have to give a close look at your dietary intake ...more
