Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Blood glucose level 270 mg (fasting or after food is not mentioned), is high. It means that present treatment is not really helping in controlling the glucose level properly. He does need some additional drugs. Plus there needs to be a close given to diet and extent of exercise being done daily. Thanks.

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.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Since your glucose is quite well controlled and HbA1c% is 5.9 %, I do not see the reason for changing the treatment. In fact if diet is controlled by reducing a bit of carb intake, you will be able to achieve still better control. Even increasing physical activity would be more beneficial than adding any further drug. Tanks.

Without any clear medical history it will be premature to comment regarding to your curren...more
