Hello,
If your blood sugar levels are controlled with the present medication,then there is no need to change your medicine.
Since your total cholesterol levels are normal and LDL cholesterol is slightly high,you may resort to lifestyle modification by taking a proper healthy diet along with regular aerobic exercises for 45 minutes a day.This should bring down your cholesterol levels to normal below 80.
Avoid deep fried foods and avoid junk foods like pizza,burger etc.
Avoid sugary drinks and colas.
Consume more of fresh fruits and green vegetables.
Quit smoking and Alchol to be taken in moderation,if any.
Keep a tight control on your blood sugar levels,your blood pressure and your cholesterol levels.
Uncontrolled diabetes results in various types of micro and macro vascular complication in future.
I hope it helps.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
With the available described symptoms, there appears to be possibility of partially controlled diabetes.
Your lipid profile is also uncontrolled.
Treatment of Dyslipidemia (deranged lipid profile) is decided by presence / absence of risk factors.
Smoking, age > 45 years, sedentary life, first degree relative with positive early heart disease 140/90 mm Hg, Diabetes are considered as risk factors.
Treatment of Dyslipidemia is decided by LDL level and should read ATP III guidelines.
Your LDL must be 70mg%.
Life style modifications are required in your case.
You should take low fat diet and live physically active life.
Life style modifications are required in your case.
You should also take vildagliptin along with Tribet1.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava

DEAR SIR

YOUR TRIBET CONTAINS METFORMIN 500 MG + PIOGLITAZONE 15 MG + GLIMEPERIDE 1 MG.

THE LOW DOSE PIOGLITAZONE CONCEPT HAD COME UP NOW A DAYS. PIOGLITAZONE 7.5 MG DOSAGE WILL BE ENOUGH. I SUGGEST YOU TO START ON TRIPRIDE 1 LP INSTEAD OF TRIBET 1 MG.
