###Human: My blood sugar level increased with quitting alcohol. Shall I increase Trajenta dose? ###Assistant: Hi. From your history, I could understand that you are suffering from uncontrolled type 2 diabetes for one month. Usually, uncontrolled blood sugars may not initially show symptoms, that does not mean it is safe to have high blood sugars for a long time. We are controlling sugars to prevent complications which are usually manifested 5-10 years later. In your case, the blood sugars might have slightly lowered after stopping drinks that might be causing relative hypoglycemia symptoms, which usually will be over within a couple of weeks. Anyway, still your blood sugars are uncontrolled. I will advise you to follow a better diet pattern with limited calories according to your activities and a low glycemic index food intake. Also, try to spend 30 minutes daily for regular aerobic exercises. Coming to your medication, do not increase Trajenta 5 (Linagliptin). Continue the same dosage. You can add a new tablet for better sugar control. Avoid drinks completely for avoiding sugar fluctuations. HBA1c (glycated hemoglobin),serum creatinine, and urine albumin creatinine ratio. Continue Trajenta 5 mg 0-0-1. Add tablet Amaryl M1 1-0-0 (before food). Fundus examination by an ophthalmologist to rule out diabetic retinopathy. Review after three weeks.
