Brief Answer:
HbA1C value is better indicator to set the dose.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
Dear Mam, The weakness is due to the high sugar levels. Once they are controlled, the weakness reduces. Tab.Dianorm-M is an effective anti diabetic drug. The blood sugar level you have given is high. But you have mentioned that its taken just after snacks. There is a chance of hike in blood sugar level a bit due that cause. But the value of 574 is anyway higher.
If I were your treating doctor, I would advice you HbA1c test which gives the average sugar levels during the past 3 months. If that is higher than 7.0%, then I would prescribe another anti diabetic drug like Voglibose 0.3mg. or Gliptines along with the present medication and see for the control of sugar levels for 3-4 weeks. The increase of dose is done until the sugar levels are under control and continue the same medication. You can discuss these changes with your treating doctor.
Regarding weight, is nothing to worry. Its OK.
You can eat fruits like Papaya, Guava. You can also take sugar less snacks now specially available for diabetics.
Hope this guides you. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. If you do not have any clarifications, you can please close the discussion and rate the answer. Thank you.
