I have had diabetes for a year and take Glycomet 1g; given that my fasting blood sugar is 90 and my after-meal blood sugar is 167, can I take IME 9 or BGR 34, and which one is more suitable for me?
Your current metformin (Glycomet) therapy is working very well. Both IME 9 and BGR 34 are ayurvedic formulations. While some patients use them as supportive therapies, they cannot replace your prescribed metformin, and there is no strong clinical data to prove one is superior to the other. Adding them might also risk lowering your blood sugar too much. Since your readings are already well-controlled, please consult your doctor before starting any herbal supplements.
