Diabetes test
Hi,
For female 42 years... since 4 years using metformin tablets 1500 mg ( 500 +500+ 500) daily.
Recently, sugar test done.
Hba1c 7
Fasting sugar 106 mg/dl
Post breakfast 126 mg/dl
Doctor suggested to take only 500mg ( metformin)+ 50 mg( vildagliptin) @ night time only. Is it OK to drop down the dosage from 1500 mg to (500 + 50 mg) ??
It has been 15 days over that this course started.
Now, can the patient go and test again to check how effective the tablet is??

You may now check fasting and post-meal blood sugars again to assess the current control.
If possible, repeat HbA1c after 3 months to confirm long-term control.
Monitor for any symptoms of high sugar (excessive thirst, fatigue, frequent urination).
Maintain regular lifestyle habits (diet, exercise, and sleep).
