Sir,Good morning. I am Kannan from Ernakulam. Last week i checked my blood and result is FBS 122, PPBS 149 and HB A1C 7.2. Doctor advised to take Glycomet SR 500. If any side effect for this or if my count is reduced, can i stop this medicine.
His am Chat Doctor. I have read your message. I will try to help you. First, your reports are indeed suggestive of Diabetes mellitus. So you need to understand that the reduction in sugars is going to be due to the effect of the tablet. Besides, there are many problems that arise out of untreated diabetes. So I would suggest not to stop the medicine, if the sugars are better- because that is the effect of the medicine. Of course, if you have side effects, the medicine can be CHANGED. It will not be stopped. The medicine will have to change. Of course, monitor your diet, and perform regular physical exercises and lose weight. This may help reduce the dose of the medicine. I have tried to make it as simple as possible. Feel free to ask a follow-up question if you have any doubts. Best of luck, Chat Doctor
