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

Get your hba1c done. You can either add metformin or gliptins to take care of you post prandial high sugars. Erectile dysfunction can be due to several causes like nervous, psychological, atherosclerotic related which needs to evaluated via counselling, doppler and medication. First get your sugar under control.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
As told by your endocrinologist pioglitazone does help insulin action by reducing resistance to its action. The combination has been banned because it is considered as irrational to have certain "fixed dose" combinations. Because it is difficult to make dosage adjustment in asuch a combination. However, using those separately is absolutely fine. Plus if you have been getting good glucose control with those drugs, then please do use separately. At the d...more

Looking at the details I suggest you should shift to long acting basal analogue insulin like injection basalog, start with 6 units once a day and increase the dose based on daily blood sugar levels. You will have to do self monitoring of sugar levels. One of the oral medications namely metformin with glimepiride to be continued.
