Sir,
my sugar levels in the morning are 150 to 160. Please advise me. I am taking medicine "gliclazide & metformin hydrochloride" one tablet at night time.

Question

Is it before food (fasting) that your blood sugars are between 150-160? Ideally your fasting blood sugar should be less than 120 and after food less than 160. Also you need to check your hba1c which is a 3 month average of your blood sugar. Is there any recent change in body weight? You might need an increased dose of your current medication or a change in your medications.

Mr. lybrate-user, hello, thanks ror the query. The fasting glucose mentioned is quite high. Ideally fbg should be < 100 mg to closer to it. Pp should be 150 to 170 mg & hba1c% < 7% at your age. Therefore, it is clear that your diabetes is not in proper control. So there is a need to look at overall treatment which includes dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise, lipid profile and drug therapy. So I need to know your hba1c%, lipid profile, and above mentioned information. So if you come back with all the details then I will be able to advise as well as prescribe the necessary drugs. But please come in a private conversation. Thanks.
