Myself aged 43 years & mother aged 75 years are having fasting sugar of ~125 and post food ~225. Advised Glycomet 250mg twice a day. Have few queries listed.

2. What are all the side effects and how to minimize this?
3. Do we stop this medicine once sugar readings come normal, details for yes/no for future food, life style.

Appreciate your quick response, Thanks

As to whether or not you will ever be able to stop taking it, that is something you will have to discuss with your doctor in the future. Some people do successfully get their blood sugar under control through diet and exercise and may no longer need medications. However, there is no cure for Diabetes and many people always require some type of medication to keep it under control.
