Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. There is nothing like "which medicine is best" all the drugs used to control diabetes are equally good. Each patient needs different drugs or different combinations for achieving better glucose control. Apart from the drugs most important part of the treatment is diet control and weight management. Looking at your height and weight, with a bmi of 26.19 kg/sq meter (normal < 23 kgs/sq meter) you are already over weight or obese. ...more

Your sugar levels are uncontrolled but they are not touching any panic value. So you needn’t worry as much as you are worrying right now and the only remedy in your condition would be to alter your medicines for the best benefit. You need to understand that we are always in a dynamic state of sugar control meaning by which no single medicine can be prescribed for life as the sugar levels keep on fluctuating in the body. I would recommend you to seek a private consult with me.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Usually metformin is very well tolerated. Often seen side effect include gastrointestinal disturbances, which reduce on taking the drug after food. Pain in knee joints is unusual. However, since you have that, one may have to some other options which could include sglt - 2 inhibitors along with insulin. Equally important is to look at your dietary pattern and extent of physical activity. Thanks.
