Do not smoke at all. Reduce weight by about 5 kg. You can increase metformin to 1 g in the morning and 500 mg in the evening.

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.
