Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query
You have mentioned the drugs and dosage being taken, but there us no mention of blood glucose levels and HbA1c%, so I am unable to know whether glucose is well controlled or not.
Another aspect you are taking 30 mg of Pioglitazone, which is the maximum dose recommended. It is better if that is reduced to 15 mg a day. Please let me know the glucose levels and HbA1c% Then only I can comment. Plus I need to know the diet pattern and extent of exercise,...more

Dear Lybrate user, glimepiride stimulates betacells to secrete insulin. Metformin is supposed to reduce insulin resistance and slow down glucose absorption from the intestine. Usually both these are used together to control increased blood glucose. In newly diagnosed patients metformin alone is used. In some both drugs are used together. Which drug to take for a particular level can be decided by the treating doctor.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. I do not see any very low glucose levels at all. Hypoglycemic (low glucose) level is when blood glucose goes < 70 mg. Then that may cause certain symptoms, like mild shivering, uneasiness, blurred vision, clouded thinking, giddiness sweating etc. The levels shown are in fact fairly high particularly after food ones.
Another aspect metformin hardly causes low glucose. If at all any drug contributes to that then it is Glimiperide....more
