My daughter aged 22 years old is a diabetic patient who takes metformin for the last 6 months. Her condition is worse, lean, thin, hair fall and drastically lost weight. She is very weak. What suggestions would you like to give me? Shall I continue the same medicine or what medicine do you want to suggest me.

Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the query. Except saying that she has diabetes and is taking metformin, there is no relevant information so it is very difficult to give any opinion. Please give following details: 1) fasting, after food glucose levels, hba1c%, lipid profile, dietary pattern in etail, extent of physical activity, weight, height (because in the above weight and height is mentioned sex is given as male). Unless glucose levels are known there is no way to know what is the situation. She may need additional medication, plus there is a need to look at her diet and exercise and overall lifestyle. It is better if you come in a private conversation as in that you can post all the reports and I can give specific guidance and prescribe necessary medication if required. In this communication we are only supposed to give general guidelines, no drugs can be recommended. I await your response. Thanks.

Apples. Berries. Citrus fruits. Papaya. U should avoid sugar-sweetened beverages. Sugary beverages are the worst drink choice for someone with diabetes. Trans fats sugar, cake, pastries mithai/sweets chocolate fruits like mango, litchi etc. White bread, pasta fruit-flavored yogurt. Sweetened breakfast cereals. Flavored coffee drinks. Honey 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic) or soaked almonds or any seasonal fruit. No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Take your breakfast every day.
