Dear lybrate-user,
I find that your father is quite overweight his correct weight should be about 55-60 kg. I suggest that he go on a strict diet (low carbohydrate, normal protein and fat, walk about 5 km per day and gradually reduce weight to about 60 kg. Keep monitoring his sugars at home with a glucometer (fasting and 2 hours after each meal) once a week if the sugars get under control with this dietary modification he may not need additional medication

Thanks for the query.
When diabetes is well controlled fasting is around or below 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% < 6.8.
With HbA1c% 8.1, it is clear that your blood glucose is not well controlled. There is relook needed for current treatment.
As regards Zita (Tenelegliptin) the dose is only 20 mg once a day. Thanks.

please give following details: weight, height, waist circumference, fasting and pp (current) and hba1c%. Pioglitazone was banned only briefly, now it is available. Still better not to use. After I get all the details I would be able to guide. Your sugar levels now look good. But please give all the details.
