Please advice ## Hello, Kuldeep! How are you? Those numbers are on the high side. What types of foods does she eat? Her diet is a large part of managing diabetes and lowering her blood sugar. She needs to stay away from anything sweet, even keeping her intake of most fruits as low as possible and she needs to keep her fat as low as possible. She should be eating more vegetables and whole grains. Does she get regular exercise? That is also a very important fact...

Another reputed institute specialised in deabetology have precribed me glycomet trio 1 which is much effective. guide me which medicine i should continue. ## Since you're asking for guidance on which medication you should use for type 2 diabetes, I feel compelled to share my opinion on another avenue of treatment that may not have been considered. You may not have known this, but type 2 diabetes occurs from the food you eat on a day to day basis and has been proven to be reversed and cured on numerous occasions by simply changing your diet. If you do your homework, there are plenty of testimonies and scientific evidence demonstrating how Dia...

my fasting sugar ranges between 98-108 and 2 hours after food it comes between 120-140. for previous 2 months i have been taking the tables glycomet.I am doing exercise on daily basis apart form swimming. can i discontinue the medicine ## Have you consulted your doctor about this? When you are diabetic, it is very important that you discuss such issues, with your doctor, before stopping any medication. Out of control blood sugar levels can cause serious medical complications. At this point, while your readings have improved, it could be because the medication is doing its job and if you stop taking it, they may steadily start to rise, again.

I am a type 2 diabetes patient. The doctor has prescribed Glycomet and Glimy for me to take daily, both morning and evening. Can I take both of these tablets together? If I need to take them separately, which one should I take before breakfast and which one after breakfast? ## Hi, Rajendra! How are you? You can take them both together and it's usually best to take such medications just before a meal, so they have time to start working by the time you are digesting your food.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. I hope this helps!
