General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read your message and understood your medical problem.

I see your blood glucose levels are staying high in the past two weeks (fasting glucose 279). You are a type 2 diabetic patient since 5 years now. As the years pass diabetes requires changes in treatment in order to properly control it.

In your case, there is nothing to worry about. You do not need to substitute your current medication. You just need to take a higher dosage of the medication you are already taking. This means you must take GalvusMet 50/850 now which contains more Metformin(850mg).

Please consult with your physician before any decision.

Hope this is helpful.

Thank you.
