Endocrinologist•Gurgaon

Hello, Thanks for the query. The question is a bit unclear, as blood glucose level < 250 mg does not give any idea. Plus there is no mention whether that is fasting or after food and most importantly HbA1c% is not mentioned. Any ways, usual precautions to be taken are: avoid sweets, avoid deep fried foods, pastries, bakery items, junk foods, foods made from maida and colas. Refrain from alcohol and smoking. Increase the intake of green leafy vegetables, salads and fruits. Use whole grain flour f...more

Saguna lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Madam as I can see you are already on 3 doses of Insulin, plus a gliptin & metformin combination. So my suggestion is to give a closer look at your dietary pattern and daily exercise quantity. Then we may late look at any addition of a newer compound. Exercise should be done daily and for a minimum of 45 minutes to 60 minutes per day. Doing just 2 workouts in a week is not at all helpful. How to manage that is your look out. Secondly it is necessary...more

General Physician•Gurgaon

Your RBC is high because your Ham globin is on higher side. You should donate one unit of blood. Normally blood with high haemoglobin is not even recommended to be given to some body but to dispose off. You can donate it to some blood bank. They can utilise it to take various constituents of blood like plasma platelets etc if they think it right. Take plenty of water.

Health Query

Recently, I have done my blood tests and it shows slightly elevated amylase and lipase levels. Amylase level is 151 and lipase is 51. I don't have diabetes, blood pressure and other conditions. Before two months ago, I had a hpylori infection and I undertook 14 days of three antibiotics course. I don't have any symptoms. My c-reactive protein is 0.87 and all other reports are normal. Had abdominal ultrasound a week ago and it shows no abnormalities in the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, kidneys, and spleen. Everything is normal. Should I worry about amylase and lipase levels as they are slightly elevated.

Respected sir/ madam my mother has bp and she is taking cilnidipine 5 mg tablet every day. We monitor her bp everyday with bp monitoring machine. I checked in some websites that normal range bp is systolic 90 to 120 and dialostic 60 to 80. Should she continue taking medicine if the bp readings are in between these values? Should she take medicine if systolic is less than 90 and dialostic is in-between 60 and 80? Should she take medicine if systolic is in between 90 and 120 and dialostic is less than 60? Thank you.

Your attention to your mother's health is admirable. It's important to note that while i'm a homeopath and a clinical psychologist, i'm not a conventional medical doctor. Therefore, decisions related to prescription medications, like the cilnidipine your mother is taking, should be made in consultation with her treating physician.
That said, I can provide some general advice. Blood pressure medication is often prescribed to be taken regularly, regardless of daily fluctuations in readings, be...more
