Hello Mr. Alok.
Your lifestyle habits seems to be good as you exercise for a good amount of time everyday. I hope your dietary habits are also good.
Coming to the management of your sugars, your
HbA1c is more than what I would like it to be, less than 7 is desirable. Your fasting and postprandial values hence seem to be consistently on the higher side as evidenced by your HbA1c.
I would suggest a few options which can be considered at this point of time -
1. Improvement in dietary habits - intake of foodstuffs devoid of simple carbohydrates, low in fats and reducing the total calories to about 1200-1500kcal/ day (according to your weight). A dietitian should be consulted for the optimum diet.
2. If everything is right with the diet, we may consider increasing the dosage of your medications. As time goes by, the body starts becoming more and more resistant to
insulin and hence requirement of medications goes up Inspite of all other measures. You have done well so far with the medication you are on. At this point of time your
diabetologist may consider increasing the dosage of your medication to either twice a day or increasing the dose of glimeperide to 2mg.
Kindly follow up with your diabetologist for the same.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Dr Geeta
