Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
It appears you are on a fairly high dose of Glimepiride. Metformin (2000 mg) is also fairly high. Usually Glimepiride should not be used more than 4 mg in a day. Even though recommended upper limit is 8 mg, conventionally using more than 4 mg is not advised. Since there is no mention of actual glucose levels (fasting, PP and HbA1c%), there is no way to know how good is the control.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
When one is on treatment for diabetes with appropriate medication, plus taking proper diet and doing regular exercises, blood glucose should be maintained as follows: fasting < 100 mg, PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8. Considering those standards, your blood glucose levels are still not well controlled. Thre is need to give a closer look at the treatment, exercise and diet too. Thanks.

Your blood sugar is still in the higher range although not very high. You should have a better control of diabetes. At same time avoiding hypoglycaemia. You need readjustment of your medicines.
