Diabetes Overview

Diabetes mellitus, or simply diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced.[2] This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger). There are three main types of diabetes mellitus (DM). Type1 DM results from the body's failure to prod...

There's really nothing that's going to prevent all the possible side effects. You may not experience any of them, or you may experience them all, there's no way to know. Additionally, some supplements may interact with the medication, or could be substances you shouldn't take with your medical condition. What types of side effects have you been experiencing?

glyco500
i have been diognised with diabetes for the last three months .i have experienced a loe libido and a problem wth ma eye sight .dies glycomet have these side effects coz i use it daily as prescribed by the doctor ## Hi, Kceee! Sorry about the issues you're having. Actually, there is a much higher chance that these symptoms have been caused by the diabetes itself and not the medication. Especially if your blood sugar was out of control for awhile and only recently diagnosed with corrective measures taken. It could also be due to you body adjusting to the changes in your blood sugar levels that are being caused by the medication. But the best thing you can do is consult your doctor, so they can discover what's causing the problems. Learn more Glycomet details here. Are you also wat...

Gemer 1
Want to know for sure if it is better to take before meal or after meal for being more effective ## I am taking one third gemer tab daily before breakfast as I am DIABETIC HAVING BLOOD SUGAR 150 T0 190, but It does not lower the level even after having walk -3kms daily.Should I increase it's intake. ## Gemer 1 contains Glimepiride and Metformin, it is an oral antidiabetic medication, used to help lower and control blood sugar levels. David, for best effectiveness, it should be taken just before your meal. It can take 15 to 20 minutes for the medication to start entering your blood stream, so taking it before you eat gives it time to start its work, by the time you start digesting your food. Ram, have you consulted a doctor? They are really the only person that is going to be able to...

Reclimet For Diabetes - Side Effects?
I am a Diabetic for nearly 40 years. For the last few years, I am taking 'Reclimet" daily. What are the possible side effects? Could it trigger higher blood pressure? Thanks. ## Sir, May I know how you managed diabetes for the last 40 years? I am quite young and type II diabetic. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Btw, I use recliment. My BP is 120/90 when I checked today. But donot know if it is because of the tablet, as I dont do regular exercise. ## Thanks. By God's grace, my type II Diabetes is fairly under control, with tablets only. Being a vegetarian and reducing consumption of rice (staple food), has helped, I think. The higher BP level has been recently detected. I am not sure, however, whether Reclimet might be one of the causes for elevated BP. ## Wh...
