My blood sugar levels are still running high after recovering from COVID-19; should I continue taking both my Glycinorm M40 tablets and 20 units of insulin, or should I stop the insulin and only take the tablets?
Please do not stop your insulin or change your Glycinorm M40 (gliclazide/metformin) dose on your own. Viral infections and recovery can temporarily raise blood sugars due to physiological stress. Stopping your insulin abruptly while your levels are already high could be unsafe. I highly recommend continuing both medications as prescribed for now. Please keep a close log of your daily blood sugar readings and consult your doctor promptly so they can safely adjust your therapy to get your levels back on track.
