Hello, thanks for the query. Since your hba1c% 6.1% and you are pretty lean as suggested by your weight and height, in fact with a bmi of 17 .84 kgs you are under weight. It is better that you take tenelegliptin 20 mg once a day just after food. Pioglitazone is a good drug but has fair amount of side effects. I normally do not recommend it. You may give a closr look at your diet and exercise to improve your weight, if weight and height mentioned (180.34 cmx & 58 kgs). Thanks.

Yeah see you r diabetic for 11 years and your glycemic control is good with these two anti diabetic drugs so you shd continue these two drugs. If you stop any one of these drugs you will land up with abnormal blood sugar levels. Regarding your question how long you shd continue see diabetes is a progressive diss ease so you hf to continue whole life unless your blood sugar levels r getting too low.
