Hello, thanks for the query.
Some times the cover of the tablets having sustained release type of drugs may come out in the stool. There is no drug in that. Please let me know whether your blood glucose levels are within limits or are those going haywire? Please look at fasting, pp glucose levels, and hba1c%. Then come back. Thanks.

Metformin acts peripherally at the tissue level and Pioglitazone is one of the alternative but depends on patient to patient

Mr metformin can be taken up to 2500 mg per day. But 100 mg is also a high dose only. If it is not causing any gastro intestinal side effects then no problem. It is really good that you have started on insulin because looking at amount of drugs that you are taking, it is necessary for you to shift to insulin. By doing self monitoring of blood sugar daily you can increase the insulin dosage every alternate day till you reach target fasting level. It is good to reduce or take away pioglitazone.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The glucose levels mentioned are definitely high. It appears that present (new) treatment is not suiting you. Since no details are mentioned in terms of drugs and dosage, it is difficult to comment. If the previous treatment was giving good results with better glucose control, what was the reason for changing? You should tell the doctor that you were better of with earlier treatment and hence, he should revert you to that. Find out what he says. Or els...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the query. The details given are too general. As I understand your mother of 67 years has diabetes for 13 years. She was well controlled , but now she is not having proper control due to ( according to you) a ban on certain combination.
First of all the three drug combination brands are still there. Secondly there is no mention about her earlier of current glucose levels (Fasting & PP) as well as HbA1c%. No mention about dietary pattern, weight, ...more
