Question 1

I am a 47 year old diabetic with neuropathy. My last clinical test showed an HbA1c of 5.9 percent and creatinine of 0.9 mg/dL. At that time, I was taking Metformin 500 mg twice daily, Novomix 30 (18 units before breakfast and 12 units before dinner), and Lantus 20 units at bedtime. Later, my doctor advised Novomix 30 (18 units before breakfast, 12 units before dinner), Lantus 18 units at bedtime, and Transpire M30 after breakfast. My recent report shows that my HbA1c has risen to 7.5 percent, creatinine to 1 mg/dL, and fasting sugar from 84 to 144 mg/dL. I would like advice on whether I should continue the doctor latest prescription or switch back to my previous regimen.

Question 2

Hi Sir, my problem is urinating 6 to 7 times per day. My report is: serum bilirubin total 0.92 mg/dl, serum bilirubin direct 0.54 mg/dl, serum bilirubin indirect 0.38 mg/dl, SGOT 40.9 IU/L, SGPT 73.9 IU/L, serum alkaline phosphatase 354.3 IU/L.

Question 3

Are people who are experiencing HbA1c 6.5 diabetic?

What happens if HbA1c is 11.5?

An A1C above 9% increases the risk of long-term diabetes complications like blindness, nerve damage, and kidney failure.
