Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the query. There is absolutely no mention of fasting, pp glucose as well as hba1c%. Without knowing that no comments can be made.

So once you are in good control then you can add as an adjuvant. Thanks.

Sitagliptin and metformin is a good combination which you are on. It does not cause hypoglycemia in monotherapy and helps to preserve beta cells. In diet avoid high carbs and high glycemic load food avoid mango chickoo grapes banana custord apple.
Avoid cashew kismis dates
avoid fruit juices.
Avoid extra salt and oil

There could be several reasons of constipation. Vitamins generally have a mild laxative effect so that should not be the reason. I hope your thyroid profile has been done. If not please consult your treating doctor for the same. For constipation, take plenty of fluids, high fibre diet and hot milk at bedtime.

Metformin has been given for pcod. This condition may cause insulin resistance leading to high blood sugar. This drug helps to keep the insulin resistance normal thus helping in treatment of pcod. Letrozole has been given for ovulation.

Pcod is a treatable not a curable disease. Hence it's better to continue with metformin as much as possible to keep it in control. There are no severe side effects nor does it affect children. Along with the metformin, I would also recommend a healthy lifestyle and diet and also getting your thyroid levels checked.

Yes, there are alternatives to metformin. You need to talk to your doctor about intolerance to metformin and he or she can prescribe other medications.
