The difference is sr means sustained release, where the drug metformin is released over 12 hrs at a constant rate and the drug action is prolonged. Normal tablet releases the drug in about an hour or so, action lasts for lesser time. Sr tablets also produce lesser gastro intestinal side effects.

Glycomet only has metformin. No glimepiride. Both the drugs good for diabetes. None of the drug cause kidney problem. In kidney problem we take some special care in prescribing metformin.

Mr. lybrate-user Thanks for the query.
Your glucose levels are normal. I really do not see the reason for prescription of metformin. Following are the criteria for diagnosing diabetes & related conditions: 1)Normal: FBG: 70 to 100 mg (earlier 110 mg), PP < 140 mg & HbA1c% <5.7%
2) Pre-diabeteic: FBG:101 to 125 mg, PP 141 to 199 mg & HbA1c% 5.7 to 6.4%
3) Diabetes: FBG 126 mg and above, PP 200 mg and above & HbA1c% 6.5 5 and above. I hope things are clear to you. Thanks.
