Hello, Thanks for the query.
It is very difficult to understand what you mean by"Glimepiride & Metformin are not working". As no details about blood glucose (fasting & PP levels) HbA1c% are given. So my suggestion is please come back with all the following details : Current fasting, Pp glucose levels, HbA1c%, weight, height, extent of daily exercise, diet pattern, lipid profile and BP readings. After going through those details I will be able to guide. Thanks.

Dear lybrate-user Gemer is a combination of glimepiride and metformin. It is good drug and never been associated with electrile dysfunction. Though the commonest adverse effect js hypoglycemia. It is stress which might be the main factor for electrile dysfunction. As your sugar levels are within normal limits. Current dose can be tapered with more focus on diet and exercise. You can call me if needed. Regards.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Usually metformin is very well tolerated. Often seen side effect include gastrointestinal disturbances, which reduce on taking the drug after food. Pain in knee joints is unusual. However, since you have that, one may have to some other options which could include sglt - 2 inhibitors along with insulin. Equally important is to look at your dietary pattern and extent of physical activity. Thanks.
