I am type 2 diabetic as of past 6 months. On metformin twice daily. My FBS is 160 and feet have been swollen upon waking up. Any suggestions on how I can get better? What about swelling?

Daonil Tablets have already been banned in India,it is dangerous for heart.

You can try Euglim M1 500mg,,one tablet daily

Firstly, check blood sugar at 2-3 hours interval. If the peak during sleep (two hours after dinner) is 160, probable cause of swelling is likely to be somewhere else.

Consult your endocronologist. Looks like this is not working for you alone.

everyone's suggesting LCHF - reduce your carbs and follow appropriate diet instructions; there have been many contributors and many have got back to normal levels thru LCHF - Low Carbohydrates, High Fat; apart from regular medication and obviously, your Doctor's advice, try daily small doses of cow urine of Patanjali (Baba Ramdev's) or auto-urine (your own urine, early morning, discharge first 10% and take middle portion) I tried it, worked on me; I'm happy and well-balanced; let anyone write whatever they want, don't get disheartened and be bold; always remain cool, relaxed, avoid stress, anxiety of any kind; all depends on income levels and if you're content with what God has given you, stop chasing MONEY!!! pray, meditate, yoga, etc. - serve your parents, worship them and see the diff. it'd make in your life! God bless us ALL with good health;

Sir, Do not worry much.Follow LCHF diet.Take Diamicron-80 mg in the morning.This is sulponylurea drug.This may cause hypoglycemia.But Do Kidney function test immediately.There might be urea/creatinine problem. If it is go to endocrinologist.While sleeping put a pillow below your leg.so that your leg will be in upper position in comparison to your body. Do not worry .You will be alright.Just follow LCHF and the drug with the consultation with a diabetologist. Hope to see you recovered soon .Thanks.
