Hi there,
Thanks for writing in.
Glimisave 4mg (glimepiride) and Onglyza 5mg(saxagliptin) are used in the treatment of Diabetes. However , you must realize that diabetes cannot be brought under control by just taking oral hypoglycemic drugs.
You need to eat healthy.
Have plenty of XXXXXXX leafy and other vegetables.
Have one fruit a day.
Avoid fatty, XXXXXXX fried ,oily food .
Sprout(moong) etc. and pulses are good food for diabetics.
Two chappathis or 1 cup of cooked rice for lunch/dinner.
Drink plenty of water as well ,at least 8 glasses of water a day.
Eat frequent but small meals.
Avoid smoking and alcohol.
Avoid sweets and sugar in your diet. Have your tea and coffee without sugar.
You can have Oats as a porridge once a day mixed with a little skimmed milk.
You can have D-Protin if you like ,It is a chocolate flavoured protein drink . Just mix 2 level tablespoons of D-protin in a glass of warm water or skimmed milk and have it once or twice a day.
Dissolve fenugreek(methi) seeds, 1 teaspoon in a glass of clean drinking water and soak it overnight. Drink the methi soaked water first thing in the morning and eat the soaked methi seeds.
Exercise is very important in reducing blood sugars. Regular exercise for 30-45 minutes per day, 5 days a week is very imporatant. Also, you should sign up for yoga classes if possible.
Hope I have answered your query. In case you don't have any further queries, kindly accept my answer. Any reviews are welcome
Have a great day.
