My father 62 age is having type 2 diabetes for a year now. Blood sugar rose gradually and now it is near about consistently 130 mg/DL sugar level fasting every time we test. He is taking amaryl 1 mg and metformin 250 mg x 2 daily. I have noted amaryl was reducing sugar well but since he has started metformin, it just doesn't reduce. Still sugar not reducing. What could be the reason? Q Metformin can be stopped? Any other medicine can be given instead of metformin? Or should we raise amaryl dose to 2 mg? Kindly advise.
