Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.

Initially you may take Tab. GLUCONORM PG1 thrice a day and OPTISULIN twice a day. Wait for 1 and 1/2 months to get a fresh fasting blood sugar.

Please give me your height in centimeter and weight in kilogram. If you are overweight you need to lose some weight.

There is need for you to undergo Glycosylated Haemoglobin Test. You may repeat Glycosylated Haemoglobin every 3 months.This will give a right picture about the control of blood glucose over a period of 3 months and assessing how effective the medicines have been.

Take less carbohydrates and fats.
Do regular exercise.
Eat small frequent meals (5 meals in a day). But there should not be increase in total food intake.

Hope this answers your query.I am available for follow ups as well

Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing back.

You need to reduce your weight by 5 kg.

Follow the right diet and regular exercise as advised by me , be regular at it.You will see results gradually over a period of time .Give it some time for weight loss to happen.

As advised earlier you may take Tab. GLUCONORM PG1 thrice a day and OPTISULIN twice a day. Wait for 1 and 1/2 months to get a fresh fasting blood sugar.

Wish you good health
