Faq for medicine:
Q: How do I know if I have diabetes?
A: Diabetes can often go unnoticed as many people are not aware of the changes associated with the condition. Common diabetes symptoms may include increased thirst and urination, weight loss, increased appetite, vision changes, tingling in hands, feets and legs, poor gum health and delayed wound healing. Learning to spot these symptoms can help you identify if you have diabetes.
Q: Why is it necessary to be regular with my diabetes medicine?
A: It is important to be regular with your diabetes medicine as skipping doses can cause your blood glucose level to remain high for a long duration, raising your risk of developing complications such as kidney disease and failure, heart attack and stroke, nerve damage and blindness.
Q: How do I know if Lipaglyn is working?
A: Maintain a record of the results of your lipid profile and blood sugar tests and share the reports with your doctor during your visits. He will assess how well Lipaglyn is working for you.
Q: When is the best time to take Lipaglyn?
A: It is best to take Lipaglyn before the first meal of the day.
Q: What should I do if I miss a dose?
A: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take it at the next scheduled time. Do not double the dose.
Q: What is an HbA1C test?
A: HbA1C test is a blood test which helps to diagnose diabetes and aid in its management. The test indicates your average blood glucose over the past two to three months and suggests how well your treatment is working. An HbA1C of 6.5% or more is suggestive of diabetes. A person with diabetes should aim to keep an HbA1C level of less than 7%. This is because, the higher the HbA1C level, the poorer the blood glucose control, and the greater the risk of complications.
