Hi, I am 70, male. Having Diabetes type II last 25 years. I have been taking Dianorm M for many years with good control of blood sugar level. Fasting around 110. I experience hypoglycemic at times due to delayed lunch. Otherwise no problem. Recently my Dr. Prescribed Instamet 50/500 in place of Diamond M. He said taking Instamet will ensure there is no instance of hypoglycemia at all . Is this true? Are there any other benefit by switching over to Instamet? I am reluctant to change my current medication unless there is good reason for doing so. Kindly advise. - Arul
