I am a male, 52. Diabetic since 6 months. For the last 3 months my sugar levels are almost normal. It was 70-149 last month and today it is 70(FBS)-118(PPBS). I am taking 1/2 tablet Diapride plus in the morning and night. Should I continue with the same dosage further?

Your blood sugar levels are normal, but since they are at the lower side of the normal range, please consult your physician who has prescribed you the medication. He may want you to continue on the same dose or reduce the dose.
