My A1c was 12% when I came to know I have diabetes. But now my sugar level are almost normal since I started taking janumet. My fasting is 115 and pp is 160

Check this out for alternative medicine:

medplusmart.com/product/JAN...

Glenmark has Zita Met 50/500 which costs 50% of Janumet. Your doctor should be okay with this as it is same medicine from another reputed brand.

Note: I am not doctor.
