Are Gemer And Glucobay Advisable For Elevated Blood Sugar Levels?

I have been taking Gemer 1mg morning and night before food for the past 1 year. My sugar level is slowly increasing - Fasting 130; PP 170. I started taking Glucobay 50mg; one in the morning and one in the night. Is it the correct combination to bring down my sugar level.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You were already taking Gemer1mg medicine which contains Metformin and Glimepiride. Your blood sugar levels are on the higher side. You have started taking Glucobay 50 which contains acarbose.

You should continue with this dose for one month and get your blood sugar levels tested. If they still do not fall within normal range, then you have to talk to your physician and get yourself switched to a different combination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nazma.Amman
