Hi XXXXXXX and thanks for using this panel for your health questions.
I am sorry to hear you have been having difficulties getting your fasting blood sugar in the normal range now. I am very happy you are this conscientious because having a well controlled blood sugar is very important in preventing the onset of diabetic complications.
Assuming you follow your advised diet, fasting blood sugar is closely regulated by the drugs you take overnight. Getting this value under control needs a review of your night time medications. My suggestion is we need to review the current medications.
1. The other drugs were doing amazingly and exceedingly well with trivolib. I would have expected your doctor to reduce the drugs and/or dosages rather than changing them completely as is the case with you. Finding the right drugs for a diabetic patient always go through a process of identifying the best drugs and then titrating the doses. I believe the right drugs for you should come from the list that you had before and only the dosage should be varied. Clearly the new drugs are not best adapted for you.
My advise is this.. XXXXXXX with your doctor and suggest that he stops Diamicron and reinstitute trivolib at a reduced dose and then monitor and make the necessary dosage adjustments to achieve the target fasting blood sugar. This is because this drug has proven it can work very well for your diabetes.
I honestly hope this helps you as you work towards identifying the best drug and dosages for your diabetes. Feel free to come back if you need more information.
I wish you good health.
