Which medicine can keep sugar levels under control in a 64-year-old patient?
Hello doctor,
I am 64 years old. My weight is 172 pounds, my height is 5 feet 4 inches. I am a patient with diabetes and blood pressure. I was taking Vylda M 50/1000 mg and Trivoglitor 1 mg twice a day for diabetes and Cilamet 10/25 once a day for blood pressure. My fasting sugar level was about 170 mg/dL and postprandial was about 180 mg/dL. For this last time, I asked the doctor for medicine to reduce my sugar level. The doctor recommended Glimepiride 2 mg twice a day. But as this medication was added, severe headaches started. So, I stopped Glimepiride 2 mg. Later I visited the doctor in the hospital, he changed medicine from earlier to the following Glimisave MV 1.3 mg- before breakfast and Corsita - M (50/500 mg) one before breakfast and one before dinner. There was no change in the medicine for blood pressure. It continues as earlier. Due to the above first two medicines my fasting sugar level increased to above 200 mg/dL and postprandial - above 285 mg/dL. Because of the above, will you please advise suitable medicines for diabetes which will keep my sugar levels under control? Thank you.
