Brief Answer:
You can go ahead.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Your current medicine Galvus Met is a wonderful medicine and would definitely control your blood sugar with very low risk of hypoglycemia.
I suppose you should continue with Galvus met and Crestor for a month and get your Fasting , Post Prandial blood sugar done after a month.
A very important note here is that you should follow diabetic diet along with exercises to keep your body producing it's own insulin.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
