Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend, And wish you a very happy new year 2015 ...
By the way you need to check your HbA1c levels for correct assessment of your glycemic control along with microalbuminuria done.
Lifestyle changes are most important in management of diabetes .. So,please see that you don't depend only on tablets ...divide your meal in to 3 to 4 small parts might be 2 snacks in between .. See that you are taking green leafy vegetables, fruits, oats, more or proteins .. Avoid carbohydrates completely.
The medications that you are taking now are good enough if you are committed for lifestyle changes. I would insist you maintain lifestyle change before considering second medication. Do exercise at least walk for one hour a day ... Please take care meet us with the reports try for 2 months u will see the difference.
GOD BLESS
