[|Human|] I am a diabetic type 2. My sugar level is 200 fasting. I have beeen taking metaformin Glaciphage 500 morning and evening. I want to change to istamet. Please advise me. I am a hypothyroid patient takes thyronorm 50 and atorvasten 10mg but cholestrol under control. Kindly advise me
[|AI|]  Hi, Based on the given history your blood sugar does not seem to be controlled with metformin 500 mg alone. I advise you to consult your treating doctor for possible increase in dose to 1000 mg twice daily. You should also check HbA1C which gives up three months average of sugar control. Stamen contains Sitagliptin 50 mg in addition to Metformin 500 mg. It may be taken if your blood sugar is not controlled with increased dose of Metformin. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
