I am Diabetic and Why is my Fasting Sugar always above 135 although with Pioz MF treatment?

ANSWER: There can be many explainations to your concern: 1. You should set your target for the acceptable blood sugar levels. Diabetics should set their own targets according to their health conditions (refer to ADA guidelines 2011). Talk to your doctor to set your upper and lower level for blood glucose. But, before, you should record your blood sugar level readings in a log sheet or chart and give to your doctor, in order to set the right target. To my opinion, this is the best thing you can do right know as long as you are not having hypoglycemia or any other problem. After some time, when your fasting blood glucose will be lower, you can set other targets. 2. Do not rely only on your Pioz drug (the brand name for Metformin + Pioglitazone); but continue with your lifestyle and diet changes to get positive results. All the best! Dr.Alba |
