Medicine being taken by him - eternex m 1000 (salt metformin 1000 + teniligliptin 20) once a day, since 1.5 yrs.

He is having BP as well since last 35 years. Medicine taking - tg tor 10, atten d once a day.
Please confirm if this is the right medicine for sugar and how to make these values of sugar normal.
Any blood sugar below 70mg/dl is considered as low sugar or hypoglycemia.
This is as dangerous as high sugar.
This can lead to brain dead state or heart problem.
His tablets have to be reduced to maintain sugar above 100mg/dl.
