Hello,
There is no need to get depressed about it.
There are plenty of very good oral antidiabetics available and a judicious combination of them can easily control of your blood sugar levels.Using the GALVUSMET only is not the end of treatment.
You should consult a diabetologist or an internal medicine specialist and get yourself investigated thoroughly and then treated comprehensively.
In addition to your blood sugar levels,you require a control of serum lipids and blood pressure also which invariably becomes high in diabetics.
Remember a tight control of blood sugar level is very essential to avoid various future micro as well as microvascular complications.
Along with medications take proper dietary control by avoiding sweets,deep fried foods,saturated fats,transfats,junk foods,colas etc.
Do regular aerobic exercises for 45 minutes a day .
Best of luck
Thanks
