Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. The tablet mentioned is good enough for controlling blood glucose. It has to be taken regularly. Along with that one has to adhere to strict diet, avoid sweets, deep fried foods, junk foods, pastries and bakery items plus foods made from maida. Also exercise daily for over 1 hour. You should maintain following target levels: Fasting < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. Thanks.
