Suggest Remedy To Lower High Blood Sugar

Taken off the insulin pump on Oct 2, 2014. Started 500mg metformin twice a day then 10mg lantus was added. Currently taking 500my of metformin twice a day with 25mg lantis(am). This is NOT keeping my blood sugars under control mostly over 200 and close to 300. Doctors don t seem to be in a hurry to make adjustments(slow in responding to my bs reading I send over). I don t know what to do I HATE my sugars being so high. I am about to self medicate and make adjustments on my own.

Dear sir, Greetings from HCM, i understand your concern ... But please understand you are on good medications .. but it takes time for sugar to settle .. by the way if you are in too hurry to reduce the sugar levels .. that too with self medications you are inviting trouble.. please do understand every drug is toxic and has to be metabolized and detoxified in our body ... each drug act differently in different individuals ... so we need to wait and see if in hurry it may land up in further stress and higher sugar levels !!! you have to understand that only drugs wont help !!! you need to change the lifestyle habits (diet and exercise) is must to keep your sugar s control !! make up your mind dont feel stressed ... be relaxed take medications properly do go for a peaceful walk every day .. stop checking sugar levels for some days ... thank you do contact us for further queries ...
