Dear Mr. Farid,

I am Dr. (Col) R Karanwal, M.D. (Internal Medicine), Consultant Physician, for your assistance.

Thanks for reposing your faith in me and post your query on this website. I fully appreciate your concerns.

Firstly, Glyciphage is ALWAYS taken 30 MINUTES BEFORE MEALS AND NOT AFTER.

HbA1c of 6.5 indicates IDEAL CONTROL OF DIABETES.

If you had come to my Clinic for consultation, I would have advised Pioglitasone 15mg, just 5 minutes before breakfast. Your PP sugar will come down to acceptable range.

Please feel free to revert back to me in case of further clarifications, if any.

I am confident that you will benefit from the advice.

May I assure you that I am always available for your assistance. My endeavor would always be to give you a sound medical advice, to the best of my knowledge and vast experience.

HAVE A NICE DAY AND A SPEEDY RECOVERY.

Fond Regards,
