My diabetes was controlled with Met‑500 and G‑1, but after switching to Met‑500 and Gil‑2, my blood sugar is not under control. Can I use a non‑insulin medicine, and should I add another oral medication?

When blood sugar is not well controlled with current treatment, additional non‑insulin oral medications can be considered as part of diabetes management. The choice of medication, type, and dose depends on individual factors, including current medical condition, kidney function, and ongoing health monitoring. Any adjustments or additions are always based on careful medical evaluation and supervision.

  1. Understanding Your Current Medication Change

    • You switched from Metformin and Glimepiride to Metformin and Lidocaine. Note that Lidocaine is not for diabetes management.

  2. Importance of Proper Diabetes Medication

    • Metformin and Glimepiride help control blood sugar. Replacing Glimepiride with Lidocaine can disrupt this control.

  3. Options for Non-Insulin Diabetes Medications

    • Consider SGLT2 inhibitors, DPP-4 inhibitors, or other Sulfonylureas. These can be effective alternatives.

  4. Next Steps and Medical Advice

    • Consult your endocrinologist before changing medications. Blood tests and monitoring may be necessary. Lifestyle changes can also aid in control.

  5. Relevant Medical Specialties and Tests

    • Endocrinologists specialize in diabetes management. Tests like HbA1c, fasting blood sugar, and postprandial glucose are crucial for monitoring.
