My 2-hour postprandial blood sugar level is 248 mg/dL. What medication should I take to lower it?

Asked by Male, 52 · 14 hours ago

A 2-hour postprandial blood sugar of 248 mg/dL is elevated, but please do not panic. While high, it is not an immediate emergency unless you feel very sick, nauseous, or confused. I cannot safely recommend a specific medication without knowing your medical history. Commonly prescribed generic medications to manage blood sugar include metformin, sulfonylureas (like glipizide), or insulin, but these require a personalised prescription. For now, drink plenty of water to help flush out excess sugar and take a short, light walk if you feel well. Please contact your healthcare provider to adjust your treatment plan safely.

I have been living with diabetes for the last 3 years, and I am taking Metformin 500 mg and Glyde 80 mg twice daily before meals. Lately, I am facing sexual weakness and low interest in sex. I also tried Silajeet tablets for a few days, but they did not help. Which treatment or medication can help with this problem?
Sexual weakness and low interest in sex can sometimes happen in people living with diabetes for a long time, especially when blood sugar is not well controlled. High sugar levels may affect blood flow, nerves, energy levels, sleep, and hormone balance. Stress, anxiety, tiredness, relationship concerns, smoking, alcohol, or poor sleep can also make the problem worse. Metformin and Gliclazide are commonly used for diabetes, but your symptoms may be more related to diabetes itself rather than the medicines. Products like Silajeet may not help everyone, especially if the main cause is uncontrolled diabetes or another health issue. A medical check-up can help identify whether low testosterone, poor sugar control, stress, blood pressure issues, or circulation problems are contributing to your symptoms. Improving diabetes control, exercising regularly, sleeping well, reducing stress, avoiding smoking, and maintaining a healthy weight may gradually improve sexual health. Do not start sexual performance medicines without proper medical advice, especially if you have diabetes or blood pressure problems. Talk to your doctor if the problem continues, becomes emotionally stressful, or affects your relationship and confidence.
