Brief Answer:
Further details needed

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The first thing I would need to ask is for the reason that made you seek medical attention or to get the tests done. The next thing to ask is whether you are an alcoholic and whether you have any specific symptoms. The third thing to ask is whether you are a diabetic and whether you are on any medication.

The reports suggest that the liver enzymes are raised. It could be due to effect of alcohol. I would be able to comment further after hearing your inputs in relation to the questions I have asked.

I will wait for your response. Let me know if I could help further.

Sir I got the test done because I had a Carbuncle type boil last week and after doses of antibiotic PhexinBD750 mg I am OK now. I am not an alcoholic but Iam a moderate drinker. I am Diabetic for last 10 years and I am taking Galvus MET 50/500 and Amaryl M2 for last 3 years .I get my PP check occasionally and it is always between 180 to 220. I had already mentioned the same in my initial question and have also attached my test reports.Pls revert for any other query

Brief Answer:
Strict control of diabetes needed. Alcohol intake needs to be cut down.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. Pardon me for having asked about your diabetes even though you had already mentioned it. However, your moderate alcohol intake (in combination with your diabetes) seems to be taking its toll and I would strongly insist you to cut down on your drinking as much as you can.

Your HbA1c level is 12.3 which is very high and indicates uncontrolled diabetes. You need regular medication with periodic follow up for a very tight control on your blood sugar. This is very important and of utmost priority.

Be sure to visit your diabetologist and to get a medication regimen as well as dietary control set up. Be sure to walk regularly in the morning.

Regards
