Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. I have seen the query, it is very general. I only understand that you have high glucose and there is muscle pain. I need to know the following details: Fasting, PP glucose levels, HbA1c%, drugs being taken with dosage, diet pattern, extent of daily exercise, lipid profile and any treatment for lipids. Please come back with these details, preferably in a private conversation (paid consultation) then I will be able to give specific guidance and also prescribe if any drug is needed. In this communication we are supposed to give only general guidelines, no prescriptions are allowed. When blood glucose is uncontrolled a multiple problems crop up including tiredness and exhaustion. So controlling glucose effectively is eesential. Ideally fasting glucose should be < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. Thanks.
