How Can Weakness And Weight Loss Due To Diabetes Be Treated?
For last 10 years I am diabetic but I never had medicine of any kind nor attended any diet chart. I only preferred yoga and exercise. Whenever I checked my sugar level (Fasting/PP/Random), it was almost 250/350/350-400. But now when I have undergone my weight change from 70 kg to 55 kg and suffering from neuropathy (legs nerve, ED) I consulted Doctor and From August 10, 2016 I started medicine Metformin 500 mg thrice a day just after 10 minutes of meal and following a diet chart. Now my sugar level (Fasting/PP/Random) is 150-160/230-280/230-280). Now I am feeling very weakness. What should I take to put-on weight and keeping my sugar level in range.
