Blood sugar shooting up after medicine
Hi, my fasting is around 110. In the night i take Eurepa 0.5 which is probably holding my sugar levels through the night.
I take Janumet XRCP immediately after my morning tea. After breakfast i take Eurepa 0.5 2 tablets and my sugar level goes upto 265-300 after 2 hours. After lunch i take another Eurepa 0.5 and It comes down gradually to 140 by 4pm and goes down to 90 by 6.30/7pm. This is the pattern. Strangely only between 10am-1pm, my sugar levels go upto 265-300 irrespective of me taking any medicine. I tried all combinations as per my doctor's advice. Tried Glizihenz M80 in the morning. Diamicron in the morning. Only this time slot is not getting controlled. My HBA1C last is 6.5. I take normal south indian breakfast and avoid sugar as well (not even in tea). Can you please help?

Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
It appears your carbohydrate intake, particularly with your typical South Indian breakfast, may contribute to high glucose spikes. Carbohydrates, not just sugar, are responsible for these spikes as they convert into glucose. Consider reducing carbohydrate-rich foods like idli and dosa. If dietary adjustments aren't sufficient, short-acting insulin before breakfast could be an option after exhausting other combinations. I hope this addresses your concerns.
