No Relief After Taking Metformin. Alternate Medication?

Hi I was taking one gemer1 in morning and one mellomet 500 mg in night in India and last year I came to US and here I was given metformin by the doctors. But the metformin is not working, I am not sure which medicine I can take here, can you suggest some medicine available in USA which has similar effect.

Best Regards,
Shashank

1. you have not mentioned about your blood sugar reports so it is very difficult to suggest any medication(s) for the same.
2. because metformin was suggested by your doctors it will be presumed that you are 'obese', thus consult with a Diabetologist there regarding addition of drug from sulfonyl urea group apart from diet and weight reduction.

Homeopath,  Dr. Sachin Pandit's  Response

hello shashank,
this is dr sachin pandit from nashik, i am homoeopathic consultant. you sugar levels can be easily controlled by homoeopathic medicine along with antidiabeic diet, but for that we need accurate diagnosis of type of diabetes you are suffering from. get checked your c-peptide levels in blood, and lipid profile. and importantly wether your weight increased or decresed when you were diagnosed with high sugar levels is the most important as per homoeopathic prescription.
