I have been using gluconorm-G1 (one before breakfast and 1 before dinner) for last 3 years, but my fasting glucose level has gone out of control since last 2 weeks. (it is around 186 to 215). Doctor has prescribed 'Reclimet' and asked to discontinue Gluconorm-G1. Is Recliment better than Gluconorm-G1 ## Yes, the Reclimet may help more, because it actually contains 2 oral antidiabetic medications, Gliclazide and Metformin, to help provide better control of your blood sugar.

very small /scored on one side (found in bottle for glybiuride 5 MG) ## It is also a 5mg Glyburide tablet, it is likely that the pharmacy may have been short a pill when they filled the prescription, so one from a different manufacturer was used to provide you with the full amount of tablets. Learn more Glyburide details here. It's very commonly done and they probably just forgot to let you know about it, though most will try to do so as a courtesy. Are there any other questions?

I was taking stool sample for hemacult test and saw the Januvia tablet in my feces 12 hours after taking the tablet. Why was the tablet intact at this time i.e 12 hrs after dose? Why wasn't it absorbed? Also will the red /orange color cause false positive in hemacult test? ## The outer shells of some tablets are not meant to be dissolved, but that doesn't mean that the medication wasn't released. Sometimes, the outer shell is used as part of the mechanism to control the rate of the release of the medication, but you may want to ask your doctor, or pharmacist to be certain. Learn more: Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am taking the following medicines: Metformin (Glucofage) 1000 x 2 Januvia 10 mg x 1 Amaryil 2 mg x 3 Actos 1 Kindly advise the best timings to take ...

Imean rapid insulin n long effect one, Apidra, aspart,n the grey colour pen insulins? ## Well, you've already specified the differences. There are some that work fast to bring your blood sugar down, which means they also don't work that long in the body, so they usually require more frequent dosing or must be followed by one of the other ones. The long acting are exactly that, they last longer in the body to help control your blood sugar for a longer period of time. The problem with them, however, is that they can take a bit to start working, so someone's sugar may rise for awhile, before it starts to bring them down. That's why they're often combined with a short acting. Learn more Insulin details here. Are you diabetic and using insulin?

Dr ordered Metformin HCL ER 24hr 500mG (OSM) and the mail order pharmacy is sending Fortamet.500mG Is there a difference between what the Dr ordered and the generic Metformin HCL ER 24 ?.......I know that Fortamet is a brand and costs much more than the generic.Metformin HCL ER 24 hrs.......Waht does the (OSM) indicate? ## The Fortamet is the same as what your doctor prescribed, it is just a name brand, rather than a generic. Learn more Metformin details here. From what I can find, the OSM stands for Osmotic, it is used to stress that you get a maximized extended release version, which is what the Fortamet is. Are there any other questions or comments?
