Usha ji, Thanks for the query.
Majority of the medications used in treating diabetes are quite safe. So you can use these without any worry. Since there is absolutely no information given about important things like fasting, PP glucose, HbA1c%, height, weight, extent of daily exercise and diet pattern, no further comment can be made. Thanks.

Dear lybrate-user Ji, presently no alternative is available due to ban on the above mentioned combination. But based on your current sugar levels and other details it would be possible to put you on some other drug.

Dear lybrate-user,
Your HbA1C level shows idea control but 175-225 post meal is still not acceptable. Your current treatment could be modified to meet the target values.

Since you are overweight, instead of pioglitazone we can start other medication which may help in weight loss.

Keep glucose tabs and one two if level goes lower hypoglycemia can be dangerous particularly if level drops below 50 mg or so. Carry some candy or glucose tabs with you always.

Pioz mfg2 is radially available in India. Your sugar levels are bit high. Januvia is costly drug, you can switch to Tenligliptin of same class which is cheap. As far as Pioz is concerned, you shd rather change it as your weight is high. So bmi. Drawback of Pioz is weight gain. Kindly get your HbA1C done. Feel free to discuss with me.

Hello, thanks for the query.
The tablet mentioned is to be taken for treating diabetes for quite a long time. Because diabetes is going to go away after 16 days. Since no other information is guven like fasting, pp glucose & hba1c%, no further comments can be made. If you have developed diabetes then treatment has to be continued for life time. If you have any questions please come back with all the necessary details. Thanks.
