Hello,
Metformin is one of the safest drug which can be taken for control of diabetes.
It doesn't have any effect on blood pressure of a person and rather it has good effect on cholesterol levels of body.
In my opinion,you should switch to allopathy drugs for better control of your diabetes.It is very important to control your sugar levels meticulously so as to avoid various types of future macro as well as microvascular complications.
Observe proper dietary control and must do regular aerie if exercises for at least 45 minutes a day.
Thanks
