Taking Glyciphage 500 twice daily is a common and effective starting treatment for diabetes, but whether it is sufficient depends on how well your blood sugar is controlled. If your fasting and post-meal sugar levels and HbA1c are within target range, then this dose may be adequate. However, if your sugars are still high, your doctor may need to adjust the dose or add another medicine. Along with medication, following a proper diet, regular exercise, and weight control are very important.

Glyciphage may be used in pregnancy in selected cases, but blood sugar levels like fasting 110 and post-meal 170 need close medical monitoring. Consult your doctor to confirm safety and decide the most appropriate treatment rather than changing medicines on your own.
