Mr. Lybrate-user govind, there is nothing like stage I or 2 in diabetes. If you are on treatment then fasting should be closer to 100 mg, pp 150 to 160 mg and hba1c% <7. If your current treatment is achieving that, then it is good. Controlling blood sugar near normal is very essential to prevent or delay the onset of long term complications of diabetes.

The medicine does not increase insulin levels in the body, but instead lessens the amount of sugar the body produces and absorbs. As it lowers glucose production in the liver, metformin also lowers blood sugar by increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.
But you should not take any medicine without doctor's advise as it may be harmful.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Yes there are alternatives available but before that get your hba1c tested and chart your blood sugar.

Yes, you can use these two tablets instead of one. That will work as one tablet of glycomet gp1 forte.

Dear Lybrate user, glimepiride stimulates betacells to secrete insulin. Metformin is supposed to reduce insulin resistance and slow down glucose absorption from the intestine. Usually both these are used together to control increased blood glucose. In newly diagnosed patients metformin alone is used. In some both drugs are used together. Which drug to take for a particular level can be decided by the treating doctor.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Fasting glucose level is very high and PP also is not incontrol. What it means is that only Metformin 500 mg is not adequate. There is a need for upgrading the treatment. Ideally Fasting glucose should be < 100 mg, PP 170 to 180 mg & HbA1c% <7.
His thyroid hormone levels are fine. No reason to worry about that. It is also necessary to look at his diet and extent of exercise. Thanks.
