Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. There is no mention of fasting, pp glucose values, hba1c%, present dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise, weight and height, plus bp readings and lipid profile. To give any kind of suggestion or advise I need to know all the above details.
When diabetes is well controlled fasting glucose should be < 100 mg, pp 160 to 170 mg & hba1c% < 6.8. Thanks.

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.

First we should measure his lipid profile and hba1c levels in blood and than we can change the drugs

Hello both sugar and bp levels are high. Get examined by Dr. immediately.

Dear lybrate-user,
I find that your father is quite overweight his correct weight should be about 55-60 kg. I suggest that he go on a strict diet (low carbohydrate, normal protein and fat, walk about 5 km per day and gradually reduce weight to about 60 kg. Keep monitoring his sugars at home with a glucometer (fasting and 2 hours after each meal) once a week if the sugars get under control with this dietary modification he may not need additional medication

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. It is not possible to give any opinion on your specific question. To give a clear answer I need to know the following: 1)which is the earlier brand of glimiperide + metformin combination was being used? At that time what were fasting & pp levels as well as hba1c%? 2) since when generic drugs are bing used? How often blood glucose is being checked after changing the tablets (brands or generics)? 3) has there been any change in th...more

There has some hue n cry about pioglitazone two years back but that is politics between pharma companies. MOREOVER Bladder cancer risk is with high dose that is 30 mg or above but it's benefits overweigh risk. In India Doctors are using this salt for 15 years.Nobody has seen any case of bladder cancer. On the contrary cancer is more seen in people who are not diabetics and aren't using pioglitazone. So rest assured you are on right track.Good luck.

1) triglynase 2 forte is a combination of glimepiride 2 mg+ metformin 500 mg+ pioglitazone15 mg.
2) now there are better drugs than this tab.
3) you should take a tablet which increases your beta cell mass
4) if there is a good b cell mass it will produce more endogenous insulin.

Your medicines need to be adjusted while few medicines need to be added in current regimen esp gliptines pls do call me for proper treatment stick to diabetic diet and exercise regularly.
