If diabetics sugar reads 73 would you give a Glipizide? ## Normal blood sugar levels are considered to be between 80 to 120, therefore a reading of 73 is actually considered slightly low and giving a medication for it would not make any sense. However, if the person is a known diabetic and takes the medications regularly, they work best that way to help keep the blood sugar under control and they still take it, as directed by their doctor, to help keep the levels under control. If it would start to fall extremely low, so they are experiencing symptoms, such as nausea and dizziness, then their doctor should be consulted. However, no, it would not be normal to add a dose of medication when they are having a low reading. Are there any other questions or comments?

Is this pill an anti-biotic? ## Is that the completely marking? I can't find anything in our U.S. prescription drug resources that matches this. The closest I've found has G 45, then 500, or 1000 on the other, to designate the doses of Metformin.

I am taking Novomix30, 12 units and 8 units in the morning and night respectively along with VildaGliptin 50mg and Metformin 500 mg in the morning and night (two times) regularly. My blood sugar was 8.3(fasting)before taking this medication. Before this medication I was under treatment of Metformin 500mg once daily and low dose of Novomix30. But after the new medication prescribed the doctor I have been suffering severe dehydration which is taking away all strength. The recent dose of medication also tuned myself into a hypoglycemic. I think, my new medication is excessive according to my needs. First time when I started my diabetic treatment about 50 days ago, my fasting blood glucose was 12.7. Please suggest your opinion over my new doses of medication. My other parameters of Lipid pr...

my pill has an A on the front an 1/8 on the back what is it. ## I didn't find an exact match to your pill, but one that is very similar and could possibly be manufactured by the same company. This round white pill I located has the imprint A 1/4 instead of A 1/8. It's identified as Metformin hydrochloride (1000 mg), and is manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma. I would consider contacting them at the link below to see if they make the pill you are describing: Alternatively, if you're able to, I would consider taking the pill over to your local pharmacy and having it analyzed by their team to see if they can come up with anything. I hope this helps!

I just ordered Dr. Derrick DeSilva product called "PHYTEVA". Does it work for Fibrmyalgia or High Glucose? And WHAT has anyone used it for that got RESULTS? ## From what I am finding, Phyteva is promoted as an antiaging product. Regardless, it is still nothing more than a nutritional supplement, which they can claim helps with many issues, but this is actually not proven. What treatments has your doctor suggested?
