Hello doctor, My wife is 62 years old. She is a diabetic patient. She feels heaviness and numbness in both her feet. She is not able to sleep in the night. She is taking tablet Glycomet GM2 - one tablet in the morning, tablet Sitagliptin 50/500 one tablet at night,  tablet Pregabalin 75 and active nerve tablets daily. Her fasting sugar level is 120 and post prandial sugar level is 200 and HbA1C is 7.7 to 7.9. She underwent hysterectomy in 1984 and spleenectomy in1990. Nerve conduction tests show that the nerves are slightly affected. Kindly advice.
Hi. Please do not get worried as your wife's treatment is on the right path but, some changes are required in the prescription. Give her all the above mentioned tablets for 15 days. Also monitor the blood glucose levels thrice a day.
