Taking Glimestar PM1 twice a day in well-controlled diabetes usually does not cause significant weight gain for most people, as it primarily helps regulate blood sugar. Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise is important. You should consult your doctor if you notice unusual weight changes.

How can we further lower my mother's blood sugar levels, which are currently 182 mg/dL before eating and 214 mg/dL after meals, even though she follows a healthy diet, walks daily, and her doctor recently switched her medication from Glimestar PM 1 to Glimestar M2?

While she is doing great with her diet and daily walks, her blood sugar levels of 182 mg/dL before meals and 214 mg/dL after meals are still running high. Her recent switch from Glimestar PM 1 to Glimestar M2 adjusted her active ingredients (glimepiride and metformin). Because it can take some time for the body to adapt to this new regimen, please share these daily readings with her doctor. They may need to fine-tune the dosages of her generic medications to safely bring her numbers down.
