Hello, Thanks for the query.
It appears you are already on more than recommended dose of Glimepiride (3 + 2 mg). Ideally 4 mg is considered as the upper limit even though the manufacturers mention it can be given up to 8 mg per day. Beyond 4 mg there is very little benefit. Plus you are also taking Tenelegliptinin 20 mg. Ideally fasting glucose should be < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% should be < 6.8. Since there is no mention of that, it is difficult to know.

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.
