Please note that your dosage likely on the higher side but better to check the FBS, and PPBS before stop taking the medicine.
Your average blood sugar level is poorly controlled, so don't stop abruptly without checking the sugar level.
Please don't stop abruptly.
Next Steps
Need to put you on continue glucose monitoring for 2 weeks using the CGM machine to titre the adequate dosage.

Hi.
Whether or not this prescription is right for u depends on your sugar monitoring while on medications.
The full effect of medications starts after 2 to 3 weeks, feeling unwell after meds might be because the dose is either more or u had side effects or some other reason, cannot pin point the reason since details are not known.
Next Steps
Kindly check your sugars regularly.
SMBG is self monitoring of blood glucose.
Fasting should be below 100, post prandial below 180 to call it good control.
Health Tips
Watch for symptoms of hypoglycemia or low sugars, like dizziness, profuse sweating, weakness, etc.

Just take
EMPAGLYDE M 1000.
You must be taking EMPAGLYDE LM and glyciphage sr 500 or 1000 and imeglyn.
May be the dose was a little high for you , due to which you were experiencing hypoglycemic symptoms
