Hi Komal ji. I am 61 years and diabetic for the past 12 years. My HbA1C today is 6.4 and it was 5.1 in November 2022. Fasting and PP is 90 and 84 respectively. I am on medication with Janumet 50/500 twice a day morning and night and Cardace 2.5 mg in the morning for BP. My weight is 60 kgs and height is 167cm. My diet includes millets, vegetables, fruits, dry fruits, chese, butter, ghee and cold pressed oils. Fully stopped eating maida, white rice and sugar. Please advice (1) how to bring HbA1c within 4.6 to 5.5. (2) If HbA1c is brought within 4.6 to 5.5, can I stop taking diabetes medicines ?. Thanks & Regards.

I am 65 yrs old and diabetic since last 21 yrs. I am on medication ie Metformin SR 1gm, Glimpirde 2mg, and sitaglyptin 50mg. with some multivit. Sugar level remain always around 150 to 190 ( F & PP )latest diagnostic for Hb1AC is 7.6 and creatinine 1.1 . these 2 reading never fall below this level. My Physician has not prescribed any more medicine. Is it OK or anything is better suggestive at your end.

Good evening ma'am/sir Diabetes detected 20 yrs ago on metformin xr500 for five years Hba1c 5.6 tested two months back but fasting blood sugar 100/116 limited intake of carbs 75 mnts regular exercise please advise

I am 54 years M ,having Diabetes and High BP (HTN) since the past 13 years. At times it has been in poor control also like in May 2021 the HbA1c was 10.10 which gradually went down to 7.70 and then remained constant between 7.90 and 8.10 with the medications and 'not so strict' diet regime. Plus the body weight was also increasing and i gained around 10 kgs (101.2 Kgs) in a span of around 06 months. Recently in March 2024, the test reports indicated it as 8.70 causing me some concern and in April 2024 the reports showed a value of 9.20, which made me think about the reliablity of Lab report as well as made me change the doctor. My medicines were changed from Glimepiride (2 mg),Metformin (500 mg) Pioglitazone (15 mg) and METFORMIN-500MG + VILDAGLIPTIN-50MG twice daily ( taking for about 20 months) to GLIMEPIRIDE-2MG + METFORMIN-500MG + VOGLIBOSE-0.2MG and Dapagliflozin 5 mg+Metformin 500 mg twice daily recently in Mid April 2024. I was asked by the doctor to report after a month with Fasting and PP readings. However after few days,I started realising that my blood sugar was approaching higher and then I experienced needle like sensations in feet and hands plus sticky urine with a heavy head and hot face. I again went for a checkup three days back and the randomn sugar was 291 mg/dl. The medications have again been changed to Dapagliflozin (10mg) + Metformin (500mg) + Sitagliptin (100mg) + Saroglitazar (4mg) in the morning and METFORMIN-500MG + VILDAGLIPTIN-50MG since yesterday (08.05.2024) and I have been asked to take daily readings and report after 10 days. All this has lead to a panicky feeling in me, resulting in increased HTN. I am worried that how this hit and trial or permutations and combinations will help me in achieving a perfect set of medicines to lower my blood sugar to normal levels. Kindly advice. I shall be highly obliged.
