You need evaluation first.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question.
Noted your concern.

Before restarting medicines I may suggest to do following investigations-
- Blood sugar level fasting & Post-prandial.
- HbA1c.
- Ultra TSH.
- Lipid profile.
- Renal function test.
- Urine examination.

Hope this helps you.
