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.

You can continue it and try to control your diet strictly as advised by your Physician, exercising regularly, reducing weight if overweight and maintaining ideal weight. If not controlled with these measures then increasing medicines with advice of your Physician.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. Madam for a person with 85 years of age, glimiperide is not suitable. Other drugs can be given provided his kidney functions are good. That can be seen by serum creatinine and urea levels. So please check those. Because if egfr (glomerular filtration rate) is < 45 ml/minute then then meformin should not be started particularly at that age. So first please check all those levels and inform the same or consult a physician there. I...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have sen the details given. I do not understand why did she not upgrade her treatment much earlier when there was no corona? Her fasting glucose shown has been extremely high. Ideally fbg should be < 100 mg or closer to 100 mg. Pp should be around 150 to 170 mg & hba1c% < 7% (both pp & hba1c% not mentioned). Her fasting glucose has been extremely high from 2019 april, almost 1 year back. Further there is no mention of following details: weight, height (your own...more
