Brief Answer:
Fasting seems high.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Things are acceptable. fasting is a little high. for further investigation we need your HbA1c, renal functions, TSH, FT4, lipid profile. Gluconorm-G 1 is a good medicine. You can continue it safely. but as your fasting is high, I would recommend adding tab Glycomet to it before dinner.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks for your reply. I am taking Gluconorm SR 1 G once in the morning and once at night. Do I need to take Glycomet 500 mg at night along with Gluconorm SR 1 G. Or only Glycomet 500 mg has to be taken at night. Please clarify.

I shall get the tests done as suggested by you and upload for your perusal.

Regards.

Brief Answer:
You can change ur night dose of gluconormG1 to gluconorm g1 forte

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

We need to add Glycomet to the present plan. So if you make Gluconorm g1 to Gluconorm g1 Forte at night and continue Gluconorm g1 in the morning. It will solve the problem.

Take Care!
