Asking for Mother, Female, 50 years old, Karachi
Hi.. My mother is a diabetic patient. I want to give her some supplement for her good health but she is lactose intolerant. Is there any lactose free supplement like Glucerna. If she drinks glucera she feels upset stomach.
kindly give her Tab Revital Multi 2 times a day
Asa i think in pakistan lactose free items are not available
Glucerna is good. You can reduce the dose to half
hi
there has to be rationale of any prescribing.what is your worry ? why do you think she need supplementation ? is there any deficiency of any thing confirmed?The misconception of parhaiz and tat ki goli us out of imagination.There is no research based evidence of any multivitamin or supplementation of food products in diabetic.You can get her b12 folate levels checked as some time metformin use is linked with bit b12 def if so be the case it makes sense.
ensure she has appropriate diet being diabetic she should have moderate carbs, low fat diet ensure enough fibre in diet, avoid sweet and sugary stuff.There is so much you can find about dietay advise in relation to diabetic.if your mum has diabetic complication like gastropathy/enteropathy that can present as bloating diarrhoea and some time nausea after food then symptom control is needed.
