Having Type II DM since last 13 years

I take Glimp M1 (Metformin 500 and Glimepiride 1) twice a day. However, recent reports suggest bad sugar control (RBS is 226 as of today, awaiting FBS and HBA1C)

In addition to controlling blood sugar it is also important to chose the right drugs. Glimeperide increases the risk of Hypoglycemia, causes weight gain and beta cell failure. Better options are available. You should consult a specialist along with fresh blood reports
