The HbA1c value of 8.5 indicates that your blood sugar levels have been consistently high over the past few months, which is considered uncontrolled diabetes. While Glycomet 250 mg is a commonly prescribed medication, you may need to adjust your dosage or explore other medications or lifestyle interventions, depending on your individual case. This can reduce the risk of potential complications like heart disease, kidney issues, or nerve damage.
For a more tailored treatment plan and guidance on managing your blood sugar, please consult with me directly for better evaluation. You can also reach out to me via WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two.
