Continue

Detailed Answer:
Sir, with the medication sugar levels are under control. You can only reduce or stop dose of medicine only if sugar levels fall below normal range. If they are in normal range, just continue with same diet control and medicine you are taking now. Coming to sweets, you must not take more sweets as they make hike again in sugar levels.

Thank you sir,
Wish you good health
