Hi doctor,
I am 45 years old. I have been suffering from diabetes for the last 10 years. Initially, I was on Metformin 500 mg plus Glimepiride 1 mg twice daily. For the last two years, I am taking Metformin 500 plus Glimepiride 2 mg plus Voglison 0.2 twice a day. But, currently, my sugar level is high. So, my doctor added Pioglitazone 15 two times a day. After starting this drug, my fasting sugar level is 212 and PPBS is 250. Please suggest what I should do now.
