Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The dosage of various medicines for glucose control can be adjusted on the basis of patients needs, doctor's advise and also based on dietary intake. Usually Glimepiride is either given once a day or twice in some cases. Metformin can be given 3 times a day again depending upon the need. Voglibose is usually recommended with each meal, that is three times a day. As it is mainly for reducing post food glucose rise. Thanks.

None can and should comment on such silly question. 'I eat rice daily' can you really comment on this statement?

At the time of hypoglycemic symptoms measure your sugar levels by a glucometer and we can decrease the dosages and also get your blood checked for HbA1c

Hi lybrate-user
your blood sugar needs better control. That being said, just a fasting and postprandial is not enough to decide on treatment. You also need HbA1c to correlate and decide on treatment.

If you want me to guide please come with...more
