Brief Answer:
I would not suggest you to stop the medication

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.

I have not examined you, but based on the information, I feel your blood sugar is controlled by these medications, so I would not suggest you to stop it. And definitely not without consulting your physician.
It would be better if you had mentioned your age and sex. Also when do you have weakness?

This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.

I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
Do not stop the medication without consulting your physician

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Welcome.
The drug can cause weakness, but stopping it won't be good idea. I would suggest you eat some food while you have weakness. I would recommend you to go for HB estimation, as anaemia can also present with weakness. I would not suggest you to stop the agent without consulting with your physician, not even for a day, you can discuss about your weakness problem with them.

This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.

I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you.
Take care.
