Hello,
Welcome to HCM
I understand your concerns.Although your sugar levels are under control,you need to continue the tablets.Any antidiabetic medications should not be stopped abruptly.The dose of the drug should be tapered slowly depending on the sugar levels.

So,i would suggest you to consult your treating physician and get an advice on decreasing the dosage based on your sugar levels.

Also stick on to good dietary management along with good exercises in the form of brisk walk for 30 minutes daily.

Hope this information is helpful.
Thank you
