Hi doctor. I am suffering from type 2 diabetes. My last blood sugar level was 400 mg/dL. I am on Insulin. But it is not coming back to normal. What shall I do?
Hi. Since you have not mentioned the duration of diabetes, I have to assume that you may be having it for a minimum of 5 years. Coming to your values, your blood pressure (BP) looks fantastic and you have excellent weight for height. We will control your sugar in stepwise fashion. I think you are taking only Glimepiride. Change this to Glimepiride plus Metformin combination. Go for Euglim M2 one tablet in the morning before food and one at night before food. Insulin resistance. 1. Urine routine. 2. Lipid profile. 3. ECG. Uncontrolled diabetes refractory to treatment. 1. Diet. 2. Exercise. 3. Altering drugs. 4. Control of complications. Absolutely no sugar should be added in diet. Avoid chocolates, sweets and rice at night. Reduce the intake of oily foods. Revert back with the answers for the above questions to a diabetologist online.--->
