Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Do I need to take insulin as well along with this medication?
A: Insulin is mostly recommended for patients with type 1 diabetes because they are not able to produce insulin. However, in type 2 patients, diabetes may be manageable without taking insulin. Only a doctor can decide whether you need insulin injections or not.
Q: What are the normal blood glucose levels?
A: Normally, blood sugar levels below 99 mg/dL (fasting) and below 140 mg/dL (after meals) are considered acceptable or normal.
Q: What are the signs that my medicine may not be working?
A: Dapavel M is used to lower sugar levels in the blood. Hence, if you observe unexplained fluctuations in blood glucose levels even after maintaining good diet and exercise, you may need a different medicine. If this happens, consult your doctor immediately.
Q: What can be done if my blood sugar is too low?
A: You should immediately consume a glucose-rich drink or food item if this happens so that the levels can be restored without delay. You should let your doctor know if this happens so that the cause can be determined and such a problem can be prevented in the future.
