Hi
Kindly continue the treatment for proper blood sugar regulation.With diet control and physical activity , dose and number of drugs can be reduced in the following months.Metformin commonly causes abdominal discomfort.Inorder to reduce the discomfort,it can be taken after food.Other drugs mentioned,should be taken after food.
Hope that was helpful.Let me know if i can assist you further.
