Hello doctor, My husband has diabetes for the last five years. Please suggest the right medicine. Recent reports are available.
Hello. I have gone through the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). His blood sugar, lipid profile and vitamin D are deranged. Also, CRP (C-reactive protein) is elevated. Now, he should be on treatment for diabetes. I suggest taking tablet Exermet GM 2 forte (Metformin and Glimepiride) once a day before breakfast. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines with their consent. Let him continue this for a week and get fasting and post lunch sugar done after a week. It can be increased to two times a day after seeing the blood sugar report. Also, restrict sugar intake. Also, for vitamin D, he should have tablet Uprise D3 once a week for eight weeks and then once a month for next six months. For lipid profile, he should have tablet Rosulip (Rosuvastatin) 10 mg once a day bedtime. The lipid profile should be repeated after eight weeks to look for control. He should also have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high-calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according to your capacity at least 30 minutes a day and five days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any.  Hope this helps you and get back If you have any doubts. For more information consult an internal medicine physician online -->
