Galvus met 850 mg

2019-09-08 12:17:51
My Spouse has been advised by his Dr to take Galvus Met 500 mg every night as his fasting blood sugar was as high as 175 After 2 weeks, his fasting blood sugar was down to 125. Dr advised him to continue Galvusmet- increased dose to 850 mg night + morning after food Now his fasting blood sugar is down to 70 How long should he continue the same dose (night & morning) or can he skip the morning dose now bcoz the blood sugar is in range ? How frequently one should use Accuchek to monitor the blood sugar and does it read right ?

Glucometer readings are not accurate. He doesn’t need to monitor sugars regularly. Get his HbA1C checked and consult a diabetologist
