I am Suresh,70 years and a diabetic since almost 20 years. I am taking 30 units of Novomix in the morning along with Glycomet GP2 tablet, Istamet 50/500 all in the morning before food and Istamet 50/500 inthe night. I walk every day for 45-50 minutes. I am a pure vegetarian. I do not smoke nor do I drink. My food habits are good and I eat very little in the morning, afternoon and in the night. My sugar lever does not come down inspite of my good habits. What should I do to bring down the sugar level to 120 or some where near. It is 170 average as of now, Kindly suggest if I have to change the medicine and insulin
Ans: Hello. You may consider changing your diet to a more low carb higher fat and protein diet for a few weeks and see. Also you can consider talking with your doctor about switching to a long acting insulin instead of Novomix.
