I have had diabetes for 9 years, but I started taking medicines only during the last 2 years because my sugar levels were normal earlier. I am using Glycomet GP 1 in the morning and Glucoryl MV1 in the evening, and recently my doctor advised me to take Uphold tablets. Can I continue this medicine, or is there a better option for my diabetes control?
Diabetes can gradually change over time, so medicines that worked earlier may sometimes need adjustment later, depending on sugar levels, HbA1c, weight, food habits, activity level, and overall health. Glycomet-GP 1 and Glucoryl-MV1 are commonly used to control blood sugar, and your doctor may have added Uphold to support overall health, nerve function, or diabetes-related weakness, depending on your condition. Whether you should continue the same treatment or consider another option depends mainly on your current sugar readings, HbA1c, kidney function, symptoms, and how well the medicines are controlling your diabetes. If your sugar levels are stable and you are not having side effects, your doctor may prefer continuing the same plan with regular monitoring. Avoid changing medicines on your own because sudden changes may disturb sugar control. Maintaining regular meal timings, daily walking, proper sleep, stress control, and reducing sweets and refined carbohydrates may further improve diabetes management naturally. Talk to your doctor if your sugar levels remain high, fluctuate frequently, or if you develop excessive thirst, weakness, numbness, blurred vision, or repeated low sugar episodes.
