Hello,

You may need to take Glycomet-GP in the morning. If the hypoglycemia episodes persist or occur frequently, then we will have to change the dose of other drugs too. Your bilirubin level is only slightly elevated than normal. Conjugated bilirubin is at normal level. So, you don't need to worry about bilirubin. You may have to repeat the liver function tests including bilirubin levels after 2 months.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
