Metformin 500 + 80
My mother diagnosed diabetes 7 years ago. She's taking Gliclazide80&metformin500 in the morning and night, METFORMIN-500MG + TENELIGLIPTIN-20MG afternoon. Age 54, weight 53, height 4.8. Fasting Blood sugar 136, Post meal 156. Is it bad to take that tablets with that high dosage. Is good to stop one of those tablets.
