Are you able to or someone in your household able to test your blood sugar when you start to feel dizzy and during the middle of your dizziness? This is the only to find out whether Glimperide is causing your blood sugar to crash. Other signs of low blood sugar are anxiety, drowsiness, fast heartbeat, a headache, lightheadedness, tremors, unusual sweating, or weakness. Contact your doctor and inform him/her of your discomfort with Glimperide.
Avatar n tn Keep in mind I am not a doctor. Medications all have side effects. You need to talk to your doctor and see if he could somehow cut your long list of meds down to a narrower field. also your trainer should also know that when you have what we call stomach flab, as you lose weight this skin takes longer to tighten because the weight of the fat cells causes sag initially makeing it harder to lose weight in our mid sections.
Icecream It is also important to know what to do when you recognize signs of low blood sugar. I suggest you have your blood sugar meter near so you can check things out if you feel this way. Low blood sugar is typically defined as a reading below 70mg/dL so have something handy (orange juice) or other quick sugar sources to quickly raise your blood sugar and follow that sugar burst by having a meal or at least a piece of toast. Good Luck!

Avatar n tn I believe that it is more than likely side effects from the glimepiride for the T2. I am curious whether anyone has had similar side effects.
Girl Extended periods of high blood sugar are very detrimental to health. For the bad breath, it could be side effect of medication or it could be a side effect of your high blood sugar. Recommend you see your dentist also for assessment of this and proper treatment. Please follow up aggressively with your drs to get your blood sugars properly controlled. Do not accept your currently high numbers as normal.
1273125 tn?1365077526 I am having trouble keeping my blood sugar in control. I will confess that I have not been dilligent with my diet and exercise. My latest A1c was 7.3. I am taking 850 mg of Metformin twice a day. My morning blood sugar is around 200. I am close to or over 200 for most of the day as well. I have decided that until I can lose weight and get my numbers in control that way that insulin might be a good choice for me. I am afraid that it constantly being that high is going to cause damage.
Avatar f tn Steroids like prednisone do indeed increase blood sugar.
Avatar m tn I had went to the emergency last week because of some other symptoms that I have been having. They did a blood work up and my blood sugar level was at a 57. I hadn't eaten anything all day and by the time they had released me I had taken a couple of sips of my daughters sprite and it went up to 98. So the said I was fine. Since then I have been very worried about this so I decided to get myself a meter so that I could test myself.
Avatar n tn So insulin is an option but there are other medications that help too. Problem with insulin is it cause weight gain which can perpetuate the over -weight high blood sugar issues! Vicotza can work as a weight loss aide as well. Call an endo soon!!
Avatar n tn Hi Michael: Any type of illness will cause your blood sugar to go out of control. So the fact that you have a "bad cold" is probably the cause. That being said, a high blood sugar should be a cause for concern especially if the cold is causing you to not be able to eat or drink fluids. If you get dehydrated, it will cause your blood sugar to go up even higher. So make sure that you're having plenty of fluids and do NOT skip meals when your blood sugar is high.
Avatar f tn Sorry I dont know what ANY of those drugs are or what sgpt is. I could google each of them read the side effects and answer you....
Avatar n tn Hello, Glimiperide and Actos have good data to show that they can bring down blood sugars, with a change in A1C of between 0.5-about 1.2% each, and with both you can have a greater effect. However they depend on your body having enough of its own insulin to work. In addition, some medications work better in some people than others. Also be sure that you have made changes in your diet to help improve success in bringing your sugars down.
Avatar f tn //www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/high-blood-cholesterol/in-depth/statin-side-effects/art-20046013 I would talk to your doctor about the best course of action. If supplementation will help, medication or a switch in statin.
Avatar m tn Branched-chain amino acids might affect blood sugar levels, and this might interfere with blood sugar control during and after surgery. Stop using branched-chain amino acids at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery. Interactions. Moderate Interaction Be cautious with this combination Levodopa interacts with BRANCHED-CHAIN AMINO ACIDS Branched-chain amino acids might decrease how much levodopa the body absorbs.
Avatar f tn I had my A1C tested the other day right at my doctor's office - it was almost an "instant read" type of thing - nurse put the sample in a machine and had the reading in about 5 minutes. (I have no idea what type of machine i twas though, sorry). She said my A1c was good - it was a 6. What is the "normal" range for an A1C? I've recently been diagnosed with T2.

790137 tn?1318064425 Trprol may cause changes in your blood sugar levels. Also, this medicine may cover up signs of low blood sugar, such as a rapid pulse rate. Your doctor should assess the adequacy of your medication. Appropriately a blood test known as the hemoglobin A1c may be performed to assess your blood sugar control over the past three-month period. Kidney and liver functions should also be evaluated.
