Your blood sugar levels are slightly above the normal range, so medicines like Gluconorm SR and Motivyst are often used to help control diabetes. These medicines can usually be taken safely for long periods if your doctor monitors your sugar levels and overall health regularly. Continue the medicines as prescribed and maintain a healthy diet and regular physical activity. Consult your doctor for routine check-ups to ensure the treatment remains suitable for you.
