Dear sir i can understand your concern
in my opinion your blood sugar is slightly increased.
to patients walking to my clinic with similar kind of picture i would like to know about two important points
1.scheduled and balanced diet
2.exercise for daily 45mins
i case they are deficit doing any of above two,i would advise them to do them properly and come back after 1 month
in case they are already on good exercise and diet
then i would like to choose Dpp 4 inhibitors like sitagliptin or vildagliptin as my second line of therapy.
voglibose can also be used as second line medication but DPP 4 inhibitors are far superior than voglibose
voglibose id also known to be associated with side effects like excessive blotting with which some patients are uncomfortable.
regards
