Hi Doctor. My GTT results are 110 / 220 and my triglycerides are 257. Doctor adviced me to take storvas 10 mg daily one at night. For sugar levels I have been adviced to take Gluconorm SR 1 gm. Wanted to know whether it is appropriate to start taking storvas tab. Further I am facing gastric problem after taking this tab. Kindly advice
Hi,
Your GTT is abnormal which shows impaired glucose tolerance, even triglyceride level is high, what about cholesterol and LDL and HDL. This could be part of metabolic syndromeinsulin resistance. Are you Over weight or Obese. Family history of Diabetes or heart disease?
One more risk factor is Smoking or use of Alcohol which can be Stopped immidiately .
You must take care of diet Low calorie low fat and low cholesterol diet take help of dietician.
Also take exercise like walking,running, or even a Gym where you can do tread mill and cycling.
You must take medicines advised to you if gastric problem discuss with your Physician to reduce the dose of metformin to 1/2 gm once a day if possible.
Best of wishes for good health
