Hi and thanks for the query,
The decision to take or stop an antidiabetic drug is a joint decision between you and your doctor. Many parameters like your medical history, disease intensity, drug tolerance before a decision to maintain or change a particular treatment protocol is reached. I suggest you see your doctor first. Kind regards.
