Hi I am taking gluconorm 4 mg and under 5 mg tablets in morning and metformin 1000 in night still my fasting sugar is 200.

Question

Hello, thanks for the query. From the details given I understand that you are on gluconorm 4 mg (how many times day?), plus metformin 1000 mg is once plus what is that "under 5 mg tablet? Fasting glucose 200 mg is definitely very high. Another important aspect is your excess weight. With a bmi of 37.5 kgs/sq meter (normal < 23 kgs/sq meter) you have over 34 kgs extra. That itslef is an invitation for uncontrolled blood glucose. It is better if you come with clear details and current fasting, pp glucose levels, hba1c%, lipid profile, bp readings, dietary pattern and extent of exercise being done daily, then I will be able to give specific guidance. Thanks.
