Hello
YOUR diabetes status seems to be good. You can continue to use those medicines. DIiamicron MR is gliclazide which is a safe drug even in old age. The side effects are hypoglycaemia and weight gain. It is better to be under a doctor's follow up as diabetes care involves much more than just sugar control.
