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.

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.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
From the details given it is clear that present treatment is not at all helping in controlling blood glucose. There is a need for up grading the present treatment, plus there is a need to give a close look at your diet and extent of exercise being done. In a well controlled diabetes fasting glucose should be < 100 mg, pp 150 to 160 mg & hba1c% < 6.8%. You not mentioned anything about hba1c%.
