Brief Answer:
Please mention dosage of Glycomet correctly.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Noted your concern.

Tab Glycomet contains Metformin. Which is available at the dose of 500mg, 850mg or 1gram, not in the dose of 2mg.

Also please let me know--
- Duration of diabetes.
- Your Body Mass Index (or the present body weight and height).
- Test results like
HbA1c.
Renal Function Test including Urea, Creatinine, Electrolytes.

Please get back with these necessary informations.

Brief Answer:
Can continue current medicines.

Detailed Answer:
Considering your duration of diabetes, Fasting and post-prandial blood sugar levels you can continue current medicines.

But HbA1c value gives better idea of blood sugar control over a period of 3 to 6 months.
Also periodic screening for diabetic complications affecting eyes, kidneys, feet is also important.

Hope this helps you.
