Dear lybrate-user,
good to know you are maintianing good control of your diabetes on your current medication.
Glimestar m2 contains 2 mg glimiperide and 500 mg metformin. There are many such combinations available if you ask your usual pharmacist (such as glimy m2, and glycomet gp2)

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. There is no mention of fasting, pp glucose values, hba1c%, present dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise, weight and height, plus bp readings and lipid profile. To give any kind of suggestion or advise I need to know all the above details.
When diabetes is well controlled fasting glucose should be < 100 mg, pp 160 to 170 mg & hba1c% < 6.8. Thanks.

There is nothing to worry as long as your diabetes is controlled. Keep on checking sugar levels regularly with HBA1C 2 to 4 times per year. Also go for kidney function test, lipids profile, urine albumin to creatinine ratio, FUNDOSCOPY, foot examination yearly.

Hi Sir,
The 2 medicines are different and mode of action is also different.
