You should not change your medicines without consulting your doctor. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about generic versions of Glimepiride with Metformin and Rosuvastatin, as they are usually cheaper than branded options and provide the same clinical benefits. Maintain a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and monitor your blood sugar and cholesterol to help prevent future complications.

What should my father do now that he has stopped taking his Azulix 2 MF diabetes medication for a month, and his blood sugar has gone up to 170 on an empty stomach and 220 after eating?

When stopping a medication like Azulix 2 MF (which contains glimepiride and metformin), it is expected for blood sugar to rise, as seen with his fasting level of 170 and post-meal level of 220. Please reassure him that this can be safely managed. The most important step now is to contact his prescribing doctor promptly to safely restart his treatment or adjust his therapy. In the meantime, encourage him to stay hydrated, eat balanced meals, and continue monitoring his blood sugar.
