If your blood sugar remains uncontrolled, your doctor may consider adding or switching to other oral antidiabetic medications such as DPP-4 inhibitors (e.g., Linagliptin or Sitagliptin) or SGLT2 inhibitors (e.g., Dapagliflozin). The choice of drug and dosage depends on your kidney function, other medications, and overall health. Regular blood sugar monitoring is essential to adjust treatment safely.
