Health Q&A
Low blood sugar on regular basis
My mother has type 2 diabetes and recently started having repeated low sugar episodes around noon. Earlier, her blood sugar was often around 230 mg/dL in the morning, then dropped to 77 mg/dL or lower around 12:00 pm, almost daily. She wakes at 5:00 am, eats breakfast at 7:30 am (egg + chapati), and again at 10:00 am (dosa + dates), but was still getting low sugar before lunch. Her medicines are metformin 500 mg and glimepiride 1 mg, along with atenolol, amlodipine, rosuvas-F10, telma, and veltam. She had also completed a course of Faronem for UTI. Today her sugar was 140 fasting and 209 two hours after lunch, and she did not have a low episode today. She also complains that when her sugar gets low, her urine seems to stop / does not clear properly. Please review whether her diabetes medicines, especially glimepiride, could be causing the noon lows and whether the urinary symptom needs evaluation.
Fluctuations in blood sugar
The blood sugar has been fluctuating between 200 and 300. The patient takes glycomet 500mg 3 times a day, and eats daliya and sometimes rice, after eating rice the sugar increases but even while eating daliya, sugar levels still persists around 200. The previous doctor did tests and gave tablets, but due to eating the tablets the patient has had more fluctuations, then we stopped it and started taking glycomet tablets. Please suggest any tablets or medications to make the sugar stay in control.
