Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

I think you would know by now that uncontrolled diabetes predisposes a person to infections.

I would suggest a regular monitoring of the sugars using a glucometer. The levels of the sugars should guide the level of insulin.

A regular dose of metformin and sitagliptin, maybe in a combination may help you.
The exact dose of the medicine will depend on the sugar levels and sugar charting. So I need more details before I can give you the exact combination of medicine that would suit you

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
Best of luck.
