metformin

It took me almost 15 minutes to walk from my house to USM Pharmacy this morning to have my blood sugar checked. Yes if you have abnormally high sugar level in your blood, regular walking can effectively help bring down the blood sugar to its normal level. Lately I have this symptom of dizziness and based on the medical checkup which I underwent two weeks ago it shows that my sugar level is high and Doctor told me that I need to lower my blood sugar level as quickly as possible.
For almost two weeks beginning from the first day of hari raya I had this feeling of lightheadedness and dizziness. In fact on the first day of hari raya after taking some beef soup I had a sensation of disorientation and motion (vertigo) and the house seems to be spinning. I lie down and it took me quite some time before I could again control myself.
A week ago doctor gave me metformin, a drug used by diabetic to reduce the sugar level, to be taken twice daily. I have taken the medication for the last four days now and together with my new food menu, eating more fibre and less carbohydrates, my visit to the pharmacy today is simply to find out whether there is any change in my sugar level or not.
'Pak Cik posa tak?'
'Tak, saya nak check sugar level lepas makan. Saya dah makan satu keping roti pagi tadi'

Today result on 20.10.2009 : 4.5
Past result based on blood sample taken on 7.10.2009: 10.8
'Pak Cik punya sugar level ok, normal'
'Alhamdulillah'
