Dear colleagues,
My questions are (details below):
1). Am I taking any risk by reducing my medication from 2 to 1 tablets?
2). How do I work out the correct dosage?
I am a 41 year old male with type 2 diabetes (I was diagnosed last year). I weigh around 107kg with no significant change in weight since my diagnosis.
Through medication, I was able to quite quickly bring my blood sugars down to the required levels. I am currently taking Gloycophage SR 1000mg (twice a day). I also regularly check my blood sugar to make sure that I am on track.
I also exercise regularly, particularly over the weekends (cycling).
For the last couple of weeks, I have been noticing through my blood sugar monitor that my sugar levels in the mornings were normal even if I don't take my evening dosage (pre-breakfast, the readings over the last 7 days have been 6.9, 6.5,6.4,7.5,7.0,6.2,6.0).
Where I have occasionally tested 2 hours or more after eating, the readings have been 5.8,8.9,6.5,7.8.
So, for the last couple of days, I have been taking only 1 tablet in the morning without any apparent adverse impact.
Any feedback on the questions mentioned above will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
