What alternative diabetes medications can I take to safely control my high blood sugar, since my current treatment of Tenlimac M and Glimpli-2mg is not working and is causing frequent, burning urination, and my previous medication, Glimp-MP 1, caused bad side effects like weight gain and shortness of breath?
Your frequent, burning urination while taking Tenlimac M and Glimpli-2mg needs prompt evaluation by your doctor, as it could be a urinary tract infection. The shortness of breath and weight gain you experienced with Glimp-MP 1 were likely side effects of its pioglitazone component. Fortunately, there are other generic classes of medication, such as alternative DPP-4 inhibitors or GLP-1 receptor agonists, that can safely manage your blood sugar. Please consult your doctor soon to safely adjust your treatment and address your urinary symptoms.
