Hello,
You should keep your sugar levels tested every 6 weeks instead of 6 months.
You never know when these anti diabetic medicines would loose their efficacy.
Any medicine given for diabetes is not Permanant and one does need to either change the dose of medicine or change the medicine as the age progresses.
Thanks
