Hi,
Diabetes is a disease which can be controlled with medication, diet and exercise and cannot be cured. Therefore, you cannot stop the medication when your blood sugar levels come back to normalcy. Raised Blood sugar level in the body is controlled by the medications. If you stop the medicines, again the blood sugar level rises. Hence a maintainence dose of the medicine has to be taken for life long.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
I have gone through the details given. I really do not see the reason to change to newer tablets, because earlier too you were on Tenelegliptin, then Dimicron (Gliclazide) with metformin. The newer tablets do not have Gliclazide, hence the blood glucose control will not be as good as earlier.
You should contnue the earlier drugs, plus take a restricted diet and do more exercise per day ove 1 hour. That will help in reducing HbA1c%. Thanks.

Once you achieve a stable blood glucose level, you need to keep taking the medications. Discontinuing diabetes medications will increase blood glucose levels and damage kidneys and nerves at a faster pace. No amount of dietary restriction and/or exercise is sufficient to keep blood glucose level at a stable rate without medication.

Reclide is oral hypoglycemic aren't comes under sulphonylurea group which are basically insulin secretogauge. It causes hypoglycemia. As it is prescribed by your physician, then it must be based on Blood reports and clinical examination. You should not worry about it. Regards.

gliclazide can be taken twice but only after the advice of your doctor as per need.
choosing one drug over other depends on several factors like how well the kidney is working, cardiac status or compliance. please let the doctor decide between vilda and tenligliptin and you can also discuss the same. for details kindly take online consultation
