I am 59 years old. As already stated I did not consult any specialist. My family doctor prescribed Glycomet 500 mg twice a day. I am taking it regularly. no exercise n morning walk., I am going to my office in car. I don't have any major problems as regular chronic diabetic patients, such as giddiness, shivering, urinating several times in the night, even if I have a cut or wound, it will heel within days and not prolonged for many days etc.,Please advise.

I is natural, it is not necessary that you need to have all the symptoms you have mentioned. it is suggested to go for HbA1c four times a year to know the exact blood sugar level and consult with your doctor prescribed the glycomet.

Blood sugar is a silent killer in remains high and is a deadly instant killer if goes down suddenly (hypoglycemia)

Glycomet 500 is good for controlling dibeites. you should get check ur Cretine . it should not be more than 3mg it it is over 3 mg . you should consult ur doctor for side effects. you should walk daily to avoid further complications.

Your readings clearly indicate that you are a diabetic.Absence of symptoms does not mean anything.Effects of diabetes take long to manifest,and in some people too long or remain latent.Please do not ignore.
