I am diabetic and diagnosed type 2 diabetes long back in march 2012. I had various medication approach during treatment from insulin to oral medication like metformin etc.
Now, i was taking Glyree 2mg in morning before breakfast and in night CetapinXR 1gm after dinner.All these medication before this test.
Last week, I tested my blood sugar count and found as:
Fasting 165
Post Prandial 259
HbA1c 10.7%
I contacted to my doctor for this and he replied you shift to take Glycomet GP3 in morning and same medicine in night.
I want to know it is good to take Glycomet GP3 as i have found in net it has many side effects.
Or i will take Glycomet GP2.

Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
I think I would be able to help you.
The fact remains that the tablet glycomet GP 2 is what you are already having albeit in the form of 2 different tablets rather that 1 single tablet. Glycomet GP 2 is a combination drug.
I think the doctor wanted to continue to increase the doses slowly. Its a accepted way to treat and is safe. I usually differ in my approach. Most new diabetic I am a prefer to use a third medicine nowadays.
I think I would have suggested that you change to glycomet GP 2 and monitor the sugars once more. If the sugars were still high, I would have added a third medicine probably of sitagliptin group . I would recommend the same to you.
I therefore suggest that you discuss the options available with the local diabetic specialist treating you.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information helps you. Please feel free to contact us for more information. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
First of all thank you for clarifying my query. But today i talked to my doctor and he said you take Glycomet GP3 in morning and CetapinXR 1gm in night and after 10 days do blood sugar test.
And thus today I bought Glycomet GP3.
I read that most side effect of GP3 is hypoglycemia at post prandial.
Will I use this medicine combination.
Worth a try

Hi
I think the sugars are too high. I feel that in your case hypoglycaemia should not be a problem. I think it would be good to give it a try.
I suggest that you buy a glucometer and test the sugars regularly. This will make sure that you don't have hypoglycaemia.
Best of luck.
