HI
metformin 250 mg is not a theuraptic dose
,minimum dose of metformin is 500mg
pioglitazone should be replaced by gliptins as glitazones can lead to severe hypoglycemai and increase risk of cardiac event in future .
Take gycomet sr 500mg twice daily
stop pioglitazone
and take a gliptin like sitagliptin if required( after suggestion with a diabetologist)
thank you
