Brief Answer:
Please continue taking Janumet at same dose if sugar is under control

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

Please find my observations below.
1. Janumet (Sitagliptin and metformin) can be continued to control your blood sugar levels. No change is required if your sugar is under control.

2. As discussed earlier taking metformin will reduce Vitamin B 12 absorption and taking Nervup OD will take care of this.

3. Do kidney function test, eye check up and nerves checked once every year.

4. Continue doing HbA1C level test every 3 months

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
