I've been taking Teneligliptin 20 mg daily along with Mixtard insulin for the last three weeks, and it seems to be helping with controlling the variations in my readings throughout the day. But I'm a bit concerned because I've heard about possible side effects, especially since I have a heart condition. On top of that, I recently found out my Vitamin D levels are low, so I'm taking DRetcal 60k once a week. Do you think Teneligliptin and the Vitamin D supplement will work together to help manage my diabetes better? My HbA1C is around 9, and I've been dealing with diabetes for quite a while now. Is there anything specific I should watch out for?
