Diabetologist,  's  Response
Dear Sir,
This is one of the most common problems our diabetics face. I mean the post prandial sugar control. To start with you can add alpha-glucosidase inhibitors along with your breakfast. These have a short duration of action and should be taken just before or with meal. The next thing you can do is to control the potion size of your breakfast. Its nice to hear about walking and yoga, please continue. I would also like to know about your HbA1c status. From your question i understand that you have been taking galvusmet only once in the night. Generally i prefer to prescribe it twice in a day.
Hope i have answered your query
Good day...
