My dad have hyper diabetes.... He HV glycomt gp 4 fort twice a day but sugar not controlled..... 400 to 500 it become .....how much time it take to work in body.....he HV advog m 0.3 also twice a day.....pls and how much time it take ## Hi.. his doctor would be the right person to guide you further in this case. Consulting online for diabetes will never work or it might turn dangerous. His dr will take his history clearly, disease nature, past control, current level, his past record of responsiveness to medicines, risk of hypoglycemia and many more other factors to rx suitable medicine for him. 500 mg/dl is too high - hence pls consult a dr immediately without any further delay. Any further delay will affect increase complications.

I am Taking Glycomet Gp 1 tablet in the morning and Glycomet 500 mg tablet in night but still my sugar is not in control. Presently my sugar level-empty stomach is 114 and after food is 199. This has been since last 3 months. Kindly advice. ## Are you watching your diet, as well as taking the medication? A medication alone is not enough to control your blood sugar. If you are eating a lot of foods that are laden in fats and/or sugars, it is going to cause your blood sugar to go up. The medication can only help to a certain point, but you also have to help it. You should keep your diet as healthy as possible, which for you means cutting down on fats and sugars. Also, how long after you eat are you checking your blood sugar? Everyone's will be raised, within a few hours of eating. Thi...

She should be eating more vegetables and whole grains. Does she get regular exercise? That is also a very important fact...

My sugar level has suddenly gone up to more than 400. After taking metformin 500mg 3 tablets a day, still it does not go down below 200. So I tried glycomet GP2 two tablets per day.

I am having pain in the calf zone due to pull of the siatic nerve or so. Is it connected with use of Glycomet SRand Glycomet GPi over long period (of years) to combat diabetics. ## No, it isn't likely that it's due to using the medication, but it may be due to the diabetes itself. If you're blood sugars haven't been under control then it can cause nerve damage. Do you take your medication as prescribed? Do you also watch your diet and check your blood sugar regularly?
