Hello, Vivek, Thanks for the query.

Atorvastatin reduces levels of "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, or LDL) and triglycerides in the blood, while increasing levels of "good" cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein, or HDL). As you can see the statin is given to raise the good cholesterol in her body

Dear lybrate-user kumar,
I would prefer that first you check again your medicine properly. Sitagliptin is not available in 20 mg. And more over I can see glycomet gp1, glyconorm g1, tetagliptin* (mostly teneligliptin) in your details.
And if you are checking your sugar levels with glucometer at home, then I would suggest you check once from laboratory and repeat hba1c also from good laboratory.
Without any clear medical history it will be premature to comment regarding to your curren...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
The glucose levels mentioned (both fasting & pp) are quite fine, considering your age. It would have been better if you had mentioned current or latest hba1c%, that would have clarified it better. As regards changes suggested by your doctor of adding tenelegliptin and metformin for better control, I really do not see any requirement. Your fasting glucose can be reduced by even a slight alteration of your night time food intake and increasing the level of physical...more
