I Was Having Uncontrolled Sugar In The Last One Year.

Posted on Fri, 21 Aug 2020

Question: I was having uncontrolled sugar in the last one year. I was advised insulin Diamex 500SR 1 in the morning and pioglar 7.5 mg at night. Still sugar didn't get controlled. I did my own research and took diamex 500sr and pioglar 15 mg both in the morning and night and stopped insulin. In the last month's my fasting sugar came down from 300 to 90. This was the first time in the last 10 years I achieved this. I had doubt and took the reading couple of times and to my XXXXXXX it is Fasting 90 and PP 130. I eat lot of sweets and no excercise. Can I discontinue pioglar at night since it has to be taken only once or stop diamex and take pioglar only in night 30 mg please suggest

only take Diamex500 morning and night. Pioglar only the morning. Stop eating lot of sweets. Reduce eating them. If you can't reduce, then continue same as now as sugar levels are in control.
