Suggest treatment to control blood sugar
Patient: Hlo Doctor...my mother is suffering from diabetes from the past 19-20 yrs...recently we got her sugar level tested and results were shocking...with fasting it was 197 and without fasting it was 210... She is taking glyz-m ....plzzz suggest something for her Doctor: HiSince her fasting sugar and Random sugar are on higher levers suggest that you get her HBA1C value at the earliestHBA1c test to be done once in three months to check the sugar value consistency in the body for three months. It is very good test to see how well the sugar is controlled in diabetic patientsif I were her treating doctor would have tried glimipride 1mg once daily and monitor for 6-7 weeks (however hypoglycemia need to be monitored regularly)She can do exercise/walking for 45 minutes daily atleast 5 days a weekShe can take sufficient vegetables and limit the rice content in the dietDiet and exercise plays a vital role in controlling diabetesWish Her Good HealthRegardsDr Sridhar K
