I am 63/m, a type-2 diabetes mellitus patient. Recently I have undergone a number of tests after which I have been asked to switch from zitamet 20/500 to xigduo 5/1000 or galvusmet 50/500 or tenlimac 20/1000, and also begin a new medicine atorlip 20 for cardio problems. I just want to know if it is safe for my heart and for stabilizing sugar level.
