Pancreas is the site to produce insulin in body. So if the pancreas is diseased the only option left is to give insulin from outside body by an injection. In my opinion glimeperide will not help you.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
It appears you have uncontrolled diabetes. You are referring to HbA1c% of 9% I think. In a well controlled diabetic person FBG should be < 100 mg or closer to 100 mg, PP should be 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% < 6.5%

Mr Sooraj Kumar, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Fasting glucose 140 mg and HbA1c% 9% are quite high. At your age FBG should be < 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% < 6.5%.

Hence it is necessary to look at dietary pattern extent of daily exercise and present medication, lipid profile details. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Only metformin may not give adequate glucose control, that is the reason Tenelegliptn has been prescribed. SO please continue that. Thanks.

One thing u can do is change the brand and see if u find any relief as metformin is a very good medicines. You can try cetapin XR 500 thrice daily.Also use tab pantodac 40 for 15 days.
If symptoms don't resolve, then guess we need to stop metformin.
