Brief Answer:
Do not stop taking any medicines

Detailed Answer:
Dear friend, greetings from HCM I understand your concern. You now have good control of your sugar levels. Please check your HbA1c once and also microalbuminuria.
You do not stop or reduce the dose now continue taking same medications
You have to take food after you take your medications. Or else you will have symptoms of hypoglycemia .
You need to worry if you have any other side effects or glucose level goes below 60 .
Kindly contact us after you get all the investigation s
Thanks you
