I have a 45 yrs old patient who is a known T2 diabetic of 3 yrs duration. He is a marketing manager, who has a erratic eating pattern and a hectic roaming field work He is very content with my treatment because just last month,he has achieved good glycemic control with a HbA1c of 6.52 % , FBS 96 mg/dl , PPBS 128 mg/dl. He has no other comorbid conditions or any complications. He is neither a hypertensive nor hypothyroid. His Medication includes DAONIL 5mg 1 tablet Before breakfast, VOGLIBOSE .3 mg 1 tablet three times before meals . Today at around 230 PM, He called me very agitated on my mobile to say that he has not been feeling well since 2 hrs. He was complaining that he has been feeling weak, giddy, heart beating faster and some trembling of hands. He doubted this situation to be an episode of hypoglycaemia and confirmed with his glucometer reading at 62 mg/dl. He took his lunch one hour early comprising 2 rotis and potato curry but still has been having the same troublesome symptoms. What do you think I should have suggested him on the phone to relieve him of his hypoglycaemia immediately as he cannot come to your clinic at that moment ?
