Let your mother take the prescribed medicines and go for regular health check up and do the tests to monitor her health and blood sugar levels. The doctor can adjust or change the medicines based on the reports and if she has any complaints. Kindly educate your mother about diabetes management and healthy lifestyle changes (read from the internet) so that she takes good care of herself and feels confident. Being alert and committed to healthy lifestyle will ensure better compliance.

Mr Vijay, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. Please tell me what is your question? The drugs prescribed are for treating diabetes. There is absolutely no information on blood glucose levels(fasting & PP), HbA1c%, weight, height, age, diet pattern, extent of daily exercise, BP readings& lipid profile. So there is no way to comment any thing. Thanks.
