I already take 500 mg Metaformin, 2 tablets twice daily plus Gliclazide 30 mg, once a day. I don't always remember to take them and some days, I eat sweets. I 've learned to eat a vegetable broth soup with a dribbled egg, for 2-3 days to help bring my sugars down. Yes, it works. Talk to your Dr and see if there's options to permitted 'doseage' you're allowed. He may offer a new amount.
Recently it was reccomended that I add to my Diabetes Type II meds regime of Glucophage (Metformin) and Diamicron MR (Gliclazide) a use of either Lamtus or Levenmir Pen Insulin Injection sytems.
Two questions:
Do you have any experience of this meds regime?
Would you see this as a non-reversable step.
I was on metformin and gliclazide before I got pregnant but they stopped the gliclazide, increased the metformin and put me on insulin, which has been increased today as my blood sugar levels are still in double figures and just too high. I've really cut down on my carbs and cut out the sweet stuff but still battling to get it down.
My father has been taking oral anti-diabetic drugs since almost 10years now ( Gliclazide 80mg & metformin hydrochloride hydrochloride 500mg now. 1/2tds, before every meal). His blood sugar has been around 155mg/dl. his lipid profile was done and it was found tht S.cholestrol is 144mg/dl, S.Tri is 60mg/dl, HDL is 53 and LDL is 79. S. creatinine is 1.16mg/dl. and urine report showed albumin present(++++). he is 58 years of age.
I think you should take Gliclazide 80 mg 2 tablets in morning and in evening before meal and metformin 500 mg one tablet after breakfast and after dinner.
I ]He also put me on Gliclazide 80, 1-1-1 before food and Vildagliptin 50 mg 1-0-1.This started from 16th March. Now my Prednisolon tablets taper down to 30 mg instead of 60 mg.every 12 th days 5 mg Prednisolon is taper down.I gained my weight by 5 kgs and sodium liquid retention in face and on tummy.My MG is 100% in the controlled.My sugar level is fasting 70 to 160 and PP 170 to 250.Some times it goes to 340 also.I am now suffering from cough .
Ive checked with the pharmacist and the gliclazide and doxycyline are fine together. I havent went back to my reg doc to tell him about the numbers as he really doesnt seem to know much about diabetes either. In the beginning after seeing an endocronolgist i pretty much just went with what worked the best and more or less asked for what worked and thats what he gave me.
Chickaboom,
- I am only on insulin no medication. I was put on Glibenclamide by my doctor which I took for a day but it had no effect on reducing my blood sugars. Thats when my diabetes health team put me on insulin. I questioned my diabetes consultant (the most senior level physician) on medication and he said that as I was neither insulin resistant nor over-weight there wass no medication that was appropriate.
- I am both mentally as well as physically exhausted.
