Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Am Dr XXXXXXX V.G.M, diabetologist answering the query
As I reviewed you query there are some key problems identified
1. Uncontrolled diabetes
2. Loss of protein and skeletal muscle atrophy
You are currently taking medicines for diabetes as extended release metformin preparation and vitamins
Let us discuss about her sugar levels. As per now she has both fasting and post Prandial sugar values high. But predominantly Post Prandial sugar values are high.
Metformin is an insulin sensitizer and it predominantly acts on fasting sugars by reducing production of glucose in liver.
In my clinics I shall treat these type of patients by adding a Prandial regulators like voglibose or acarbose, Starting with a low dose. So discuss the option of starting acarbose or voglibose with our doctor
Secondly loss of Protein due to diabetes is common which needs supplementation. There are many Protein supplements available for diabetes patients, can be taken with water or milk. So you can consider this option after discussing with your doctor..
She is advised to undergo lipid Profile and hba1c
Hope this information is helpful
Thanks
