Mr Lybrate-User, thanks for the query.
Your glucose levels mentioned (fasting & pp) both confirm that you have diabetes. Please check hba1c%, that will help in knowing how well is the control after starting treatment.
Even after taking gliclazide and metformin (80 + 500 mg once a day), blood glucose is not controlled, means the current treatment is inadequate. There is a need to upgrade it. Plus give a closer look at diet, exercise and weight. With bmi of 26.44 kgs/sq meter (normal < 23 ...more

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
I have gone through the details given. I really do not see the reason to change to newer tablets, because earlier too you were on Tenelegliptin, then Dimicron (Gliclazide) with metformin. The newer tablets do not have Gliclazide, hence the blood glucose control will not be as good as earlier.
You should contnue the earlier drugs, plus take a restricted diet and do more exercise per day ove 1 hour. That will help in reducing HbA1c%. Thanks.
