Dear friend, Greeting from HCM. I understand your concern. Tab. Trajenta DUO is definitely better. But do check your Hba1c, lipid profile, microalbumiuria and thyroid profile and get the prescription form your treating doctor.
But please do remember that changing tablets alone is not the solution now. You need to follow some lifestyle modifications too. You avoid carbohydrate, take more of green leafy vegetables, sprouts, oats, millets and other fiber rich food. Do exercise, practice yoga and pranayama
THANKS
