Question 1

My test report in March/April showed HbA1C 9.0, and my current report shows HbA1C 4.6. I used to take insulin, but since September I have been taking tablets as prescribed: Glyciphage SR 500 twice daily before meals and Voglitor MD 0.3. My current FBS is 92 and PPBS is 128. Kindly let me know what I should do?

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

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.

HbA1c of 6.2 percent indicates prediabetes. It is manageable with diet/exercise. Suggest repeating HbA1c for confirmation. Please take an HbA1c test to validate.
