Hello
You are a known case of type II diabetes and taking Galvusmet ( vildagliptin 50 and metformine 1000 mg ) for 4 months . Still according to you , your blood sugar level is not under control.
The reason may be due to :
1 Either dose is improper ( less dose as required ).
2 May be this medicine is not effective .
3 Your diet may contain heavy carbohydrate ( >sugar as necessary 0.
4 You are not doing any physical exercise .
