Their is some duplication in diabetic medication in this case. Janumet has sitagliptin and trajenta has linagliptin (both belonging to same class). Azulix has glimipride and diamicron has gliclazide (both belonging to same class). You need to stop duplications and also get a hba1c done (it shows 3 months average of blood sugar level).
Review with reports.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
The drugs prescribed for yor father Gliclazide and Voglibose are well known and safe drugs. There are hardly any side effects. Persons with diabetes take these drugs for years together. Both are very well tolerated compounds. Therefore, if his diabetes is well controlled, then he should continue the same. In a well controlled diabetes Fasting Glucose should be < 100 mg, Pp 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. Thanks.

Dear Sir ,
Water melon is good choice of fruit for diabetes because of its GI & GL . GI-Glycemic Index is the effect of carbohydrates on blood glucose & Gl- Glycemic load which which combines both quality & quantity of actual carbohydrates consume. So for for watermelon both comes to low if you considered one cup or one plate of it.
For any further clinical assistant kindly revert back to me.
Thanking You.

Dates have a low gi, which means they're less likely to spike your blood sugar levels, making them a safe choice for people with diabetes. Moreover, dates have a medium gl, which means that 1 or 2 fruits at a time are a good choice.

I am pretty sure the people who tell you that your belly fat is because of metformin are either not doctors or self declared degree less doctors.
