If I have a respiratory infection, can I stop Istamet XR and increase my Novomix to 12 units?

Asked by Female, 50 · 2 months ago

You should not stop Istamet XR or change your Novomix dose on your own, even during a respiratory infection. Infections can raise blood sugar, but medication doses need careful adjustment by a doctor to avoid low or very high sugar levels. Contact your doctor promptly for the right dose changes and treatment of the infection.

  1. Do not stop Istamet XR without consulting your doctor: Abruptly stopping Metformin and Sitagliptin can disrupt blood sugar control.

  2. Adjusting insulin dosage: Increasing Novomix may be necessary if blood sugar is high, but only adjust based on monitoring and medical advice.

  3. Monitor blood sugar closely: Illness can cause fluctuations, so frequent checks are crucial.

  4. Consult your healthcare provider: They can offer personalized advice on medication adjustments during your infection.

In summary, do not change your diabetes medications on your own. Contact your healthcare provider for guidance tailored to your condition.
