Hello madam
i do understand that you are a 50 year old female with diabetes and high blood sugar. Triclazane is a good medicine, but pioglitazone in it may cause weight gain and so monitor for your weight. if your sugars does not come down or if have symptoms, i would prefer to put you on insulin. once blood sugars are controlled, then we can change to medicine.
Remember that diet and exercise are equally important to bring down your sugars
