I'm a bit concerned because after taking Dulcoflex tablets, I've noticed that I'm urinating a lot more throughout the day and I'm also experiencing some weight loss. Could you help me figure out what's going on and suggest an alternative or a better approach?

I recommend you stop taking it. Instead, you can try using Senokot tablets. Take 1-2 tablets at bedtime as needed for constipation. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day. If you continue to experience high urine output and weight loss, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm a 43-year-old IT professional dealing with obesity and I've noticed that my fasting blood glucose level is at 148. I'm already on 1 tab of Asomex LT for hypertension which I take every night before bed. Can you suggest any medication or advice to help manage my high blood glucose levels? I'm starting to get a bit worried about it.
Fasting blood glucose should not exceed 100mgdl. The initial drug of choice for first line treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus is Metformin 500mg. However, in order to get a more comprehensive understanding of your condition, you should undergo a panel of tests including FBS, PPBS, HbA1C, and URE. This data will help to curate a more effective treatment plan for you. You should also look into lifestyle modifications such as diet control, regular exercise, stress management and cessation of smokingdrinking (if you are a smokerdrinker).
