HI,
THANKS FOR CHOOSING HCM,
yes the medication your are using is good,you may not worry
i want you to know about few things
medications may show variations,
in blood glucose levels which vary widely making you hyperglycaemic and hypoglycaemic

so things
you need to take care is about

1.medication needs to be taken same time of the day

2.food should be
taken within the prescribed time and same time of the day

3.take food in smaller quantities at frequent intervals

4.plan a good set of exercises(not too sternous not too little)

5.fasting and more exercises may push you into hypoglycaemia

6.diet should be planned with your doctor or nutritionist

see that you frequently monitor your blood glucose levels
meet your doctor regularly
good luck take care
