Diabetes level is not reducing
My father's Age -63
He is Currently using medicines - Gluconorm PG2 (using from last 7 years) and Vilnip-500 (using from 8-10 months). BGR-34 ( used for 2 years)
Sugar level before meal - around 200
After meal 360 - 400
His weight is also reducing. Its around 51 kg now. Feel tired after doing normal work.
No change in sugar level even after using these medicines regularly. He is Following proper diet as well.
His Weight reduced from 58 to 51 this year. Not sure if weight lose is due to use of Vilnip 500 or any other reason.
