Yes. You still need to take medicines because your blood sugar is controlled with medicines, diet control and good life style. Get your blood sugar check regularly and if still blood sugar falls then your doctor will reduce medicines gradually.

Hello, Thanks for the query As you are on certain drugs your body gets adapted to those compounds. Therefore, some times the change in compound between similar drugs may nt give desired results. Trigenta is Linagliptin and Januvita is Sitagliptin, even though both have similar action, dosage is different. So there is a possibilty of different response. Results may improve over a period. You might ask your physician about it. There are still better options for stricter control like GLP! analogues...more
