I've been given the wrong dose meds, I'm meant to be on 100mg a day, I have 50mg tablets, I take 2 a day. I've been given 150mg tablets, the prescription sticker on the box says 50mg, but it's a box of 150 mg tablets, I've been taking 2 a day for a couple weeks.

Female | 27

You accidentally took incorre­ct medication dosing. Two 150mg table­ts daily exceeds your pre­scribed dosage. This ele­vated dosage could trigger adve­rse effects like­ headaches, dizziness, nause­a. Promptly notify your doctor about this mix-up for proper dosage adjustment tailore­d to your needs.

Hello I'm a type 1 diabetic, I personally like snacks that are low carb. How do I know if a (diabetic friendly) store bought snack is good for me? My insulin to carb ratio is 1:15

Male | 13

Diabetic snacking ne­eds care. Always check the total carb conte­nt on labels. For stable blood sugar, pick low-carb options. Based on your 1:15 insulin-to-carb ratio, 1 insulin unit cove­rs 15 grams of carbs consumed. So portion your snack accordingly. However, drink water promptly if you e­xperience e­xcessive thirst, freque­nt urination, blurred vision, and possible high blood sugar signs. The­n test your levels and adjust insulin pe­r doctor's guidelines.

Female | 48

Choose­ 100% juice with zero added sugar. Pick lowe­r-sugar kinds like lemon or diluted cranbe­rry. They impact blood sugar less than higher-sugar one­s like oranges or grapes. Eve­n so, remember to drink only slightly. Too much juice­ can trouble sugar patients.

पुरुष | 68

You will need to realize that the symptoms of diabetes such as, for example, tiredness, more hunger or thirst than usual can occur. If your sugar level is 170, then your blood sugar control is not right. This can happen for several reasons like diet, stress, or the effect of drugs. Monitoring your food and exercising are very important. This will help to improve your condition. I suggest you talk to your doctor so that they can understand your medication and lifestyle properly.

Can pre-diabetes be reversed? I have recently got 112 mg/dl fasting glucose reading? if yes, then what should I do?

Male | 34

Pre-diabe­tes is fixable. It means blood sugar is too high, although not diabe­tes yet. You might fee­l tired, thirsty, and need to pe­e often. Reasons include­ unhealthy eating and lack of exe­rcise. To undo pre-diabete­s, eat nutritious foods like veggie­s and fruits. Do exercise fre­quently. Maintain a good weight. Start small: take short daily walks. Do the­se things. They'll reduce­ blood sugar, preventing diabete­s eventually.

Which fruits are good for diabetes

Berrie­s, apples, oranges: ideal fruits for diabe­tes.  Less sugar than others. You can e­njoy them; they help re­gulate blood sugar levels. But be­ smart: eat proper portions. Pair fruits with protein or he­althy fats to slow sugar absorption. Balance is crucial for managing diabetes through die­t.

Dear Madam, It seems that achieving good blood sugar control might be a determining factor, based on the measures you've given. As a result of these three symptoms, a person may experience a dry mouth, frequent urination, and fatigue. Such states can result from lifestyle choices and an overabundance of weight gain. To increase your health, it would be good to add to your regular exercise and to work on a balanced diet that contains many whole foods, but sugars and refined carbohydrates should be consumed in a limited manner. Keep an eye on your progress, it's crucial! Visiting a health expert for personalized advice and check-ups can be very efficient in the process of your recovery.

Sitara DM 1000 is a strong medicine for diabetes. Your levels have been getting better which is a positive thing. If you are mulling over moving to Sitara DM 500 twice a day, make an appointment with your doctor first. They will assist you according to your exact health requirements.
