Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Firstly, did you switch over to Glynase MF on your own or, was prescribed by your doctor?

You have not mentioned your fasting and post-prandial blood sugar values. So, it would be difficult for me to advise the appropriate treatment.

All anti-diabetic drugs have their own time at which their action is at its peak. Hence, meals should be taken at the same time as routine. Delay in a meal may lead to lowering of blood sugar.

It is therefore advised that you stop Glynase MF; consult your doctor to prescribe more appropriate drug(s) so as to ensure that your sugar levels remain under control 24 hours a day and, at the same time, prevent sugar levels to go down dangerously.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
