Can I Take Janumet For Stomach Pain Having Been Diagnosed With Prediabetes?

Hi,I was diagnosed with prediabetic in 2009 (Fasting 158 & PP 178).Consequently I left sugar and started taking precautions. It camedown consistently to Fasting 100 & PP around 145 on Glucometer. However I consulted a Doctor, an endocrinologist, due to persistent stomach problem in 2009 end. He advised me to go on Janumet (50 mg/500 mg) twice a day before BF & Dinner with a view that some of my body system has damaged and it would prevent any damage afterwards. Al went well for 5 years, but now I am finding sugar levels raised now to around 130-135 fasting and 165-175 PP on glucometer. Do I need to change medicine or what precaution I should take. I have felt that my Doctor has tendency to put people on medicines and he does not pay much attention.

in diabetes due to progressive damage of beta cells in pancreas the efficiency of medication will decrease so in diabetes medication need to be revised
