Hi,
My physician changed my medication from diamicron 500mg to glycomet 250mg twice a day ( morning and night - overall 500mg) as my hba1c levels came around 5.6 ( with medication). However, with new medication my fatsing levels are coming bit high - 112 to 120 basis glucometer readings. Post lunch and post dinner seems fine. ( less than 140 after 2 hrs). Should i increase dosage or move to sustained release version of glycomet? I have been diabetic from past 3 years now.
