Hello Doctor, I am 59 yrs old, 90 kgs, height 6'1", a pure vegetarian. Mine is basically a sitting job. Last July, while doing a routine check up, I found out that my Uric Acid had shot up to 7.60. In fact, my toenails had started coming off. My doctor then advised me to take Febutaz40 everyday for 3 months after which Uric Acid came down to 4.30. He then asked me to stop for 1 month and it again shot up to 7.50. He has now asked me to take 1 tablet every alternate day, now my Uric Acid count is 5.70. For the past few days, I have been experiencing swelling and pain in my feet around the ankles as well as in the toes and fingers. Sometimes it is a tingling pain. I have completed 3 months of Vitamin B12 ( Meganeuron OD Plus ) which now under my Doctors instructions I have stopped. I am also taking Vit D for the past 3 months and supposed to take for another 3 months. My Question is : Should I take Febutaz 40 everyday for Uric Acid or continue taking alternate day, as is now ? And what could the possible reason for this pain in the feet and the toes and fingers ? Should I continue with my Vit B12 medicine ? Last July, my HbA1c was 6.30 which I brought it down to 5.80 by changing my diet and walking exercise. I had stopped sugar intake totally for 6 months after which my HbA1c was down to 5.80. Now I have started on sugar intake but very limited quantity and that too once-twice a week. Now my HbA1c is 6.10. Is it okay or should I stop sugar intake totally ? Just for information during the past 10 months, my FBS is between 98 to 108 and PPBS is between 110 to 140. I am not taking any medicine for sugar control. My cholesterol is between 140 to 180. Could you please revert back to all my queries ? Thank you
