Galvus met 850 mg
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
