What Are The Possible Medications For Type 2 Diabetis?
I am suffering with type 2 Diabetis. My B.Sugar levels are fasting:140 and PP is 248. HBa1c is 7.9. Doctor suggested to take istamin 50/500 along with glimy m2 forte. Now my doubt is If I take both the medicins in the morning and evening, due to high dose, I think, the blood sugar may immediately come down and consequent to that I have to suffer with complications of the heavy dose. Is the dose is correct and reduce the same. Please advise me.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is managed by oral hypogycemics.
Oral hypoglycemics are a group of drugs which control blood glucose levels.
The two drugs which are prescribed are oral hypoglycemics.
The drugs have to be taken in time and both the drugs have different actions.
There are no complications if both the drugs are taken simultaneously.
You can take both the drugs in prescribed doses and at appropriate time.
Besides medication, you need to increase the intake of fiber and fluids in your diet.
Regular exercise is necessary to control central obesity.
Central obesity decreases the sensitivity to insulin thus correct doses so it has to be controlled.
Thanks and take care
