Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
With appropriate treatment blood glucose levels should be well controlled, like fasting < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. Since your glucose levels are not in control, means present treatment is not enough. One is drugs being taken should be improved and second is look at your diet & regular exercise. If you are interested in proper treatment then please come back with all the above mentioned details in a private conversation (paid consultation...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
The tablet mentioned is to be taken for treating diabetes for quite a long time. Because diabetes is going to go away after 16 days. Since no other information is guven like fasting, pp glucose & hba1c%, no further comments can be made. If you have developed diabetes then treatment has to be continued for life time. If you have any questions please come back with all the necessary details. Thanks.

Do kegel exercises-- firstly, find the pelvic floor muscles. You can achieve this by stopping mid-stream two or three times the next time you urinate. The muscles you can feel working during this process are the pelvic floor muscles, and they will be the focus of kegel exercises.
One kegel exercise consists of tightening and holding these muscles for 5 seconds and then releasing them. Try to do between 10 and 20 repetitions each day. This may not be possible when you first start doing the ex...more

Glimepiride is a sulphonylurea compound, it stimulates insulin secretion by the beta cells of pancreas, t...more

lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
As mentioned your FBG is fine (93 mg), but PP is definitely high. The reason for fasting being low is the Insulin dosage being taken at night. You need to reduce the post lunch glucose level. So you may look at increasing only Glimepiride dosage rather than taking two tablets of double dose of both (glimiperide + Metformin). That may become excess. If you have any specific questions please do come back. You should target PP <100 mg (as is now), PP 150 to 1...more

Glimepiride 1 mg will not be sufficient for controlling such high levels.
