Diabetes medication queries
My mother has diabetes since last 14years. She had her routine diabetic tests yesterday and it was found that her HBA1C is 9.2% and FBS is 147mg/dl.
She was already takind Jalra M(50/1000) before breakfast everyday and Glycomet once a day. Now doctor has asked her to take insulin along with Jalra M(50/1000) after breakfast and after dinner and reclide XR before breakfast.
Our concern is if taking both high doses of medicine and insulin will extremely impact my mother's sugar level? Or it is normal to take both medications and insulin at the same time?

Patients with long standing diabetes often require insulin to control blood sugars. If plasma glucose is not controlled with only oral medications she will require insulin (at least once a day) along with oral medications.
Health Tips
Monitor FBS PPBS regularly. Patients started on insulin require change in dosages of medications.
