Hi Doctor

My FBS readings over the last three days were as the following  200, 210 , 205 , I'm taking mitformin 850 mg and Glipinclamide 5 mg both twice aday , is there any thing that i must do so the reading might decreased .

Thank you

madgeOwens has great ideas about eating smaller portions, especially your carbs.

if your readings continue to be high, you could consider exercising, which is a good idea regardless.

if still high, ask your doctor to increase the doses of your medication

You need to watch your food portions and really watch the carbohydrates.  Get out there and walk.  Good Luck.

Dear Friends,

I have very much enjoyed my time on Medhelp and have learned from you even while hosting our Ask-A-Doctor forum for Diabetes. Sadly I am leaving the Medhelp community as my own practice has become busier and time constraints have proved quite challenging. So from April 7th 2008 I will be officially away from Medhelp, but you can still find me at our practice website www.endocrinehelp.com, so please drop me a  line if you wish. Most likely a new physician will be hosting the Diabetes forum for Medhelp in the future, so please continue to check in with the Medhelp community.
All the best to you and blessings for the future,

Sincerely,
Anita Ramsetty,MD
