Dear Lybrate user, I understand that you have been doing quite a bit of research on the medications, but I just want to make one correction. You are right about pioglitazone, but not the glimepiride whose main function is to stimulate insulin production from the pancreas and not to reduce insulin resistance. This is done by mostly metformin and pioglitazone. Hence you are taking combination of 2 tablets with similar function. If your sugars are controlled and you are not getting any side-effects...more

Mr metformin can be taken up to 2500 mg per day. But 100 mg is also a high dose only. If it is not causing any gastro intestinal side effects then no problem. It is really good that you have started on insulin because looking at amount of drugs that you are taking, it is necessary for you to shift to insulin. By doing self monitoring of blood sugar daily you can increase the insulin dosage every alternate day till you reach target fasting level. It is good to reduce or take away pioglitazone.

You are suffering this because diabetes has taken a toll on your immunity. You need to strengthen your immunity and have better control over blood sugar. Ayurvedic tablets can do that without any side effects. Kindly let me know your age, height and weight so as to arrive at perfect prescription. Regards Dr. Omkar shahapurkar
