lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query.
Madam you have mentioned quite a few drugs, which you want to take. Even though your glucose levels are too high, it is difficult to say whether you can all of these. The treatment for diabetes is not just taking a bunch of medicines which reduce glucose.

For diabetes follow a diet low in carbohydrate, low in fat and high in fibre. Avoid bakery products. Avoid too much rice and potato. Avoid fried stuff. Avoid chocolate, cakes, ice cream, soft drinks and fruit juices. Eat lots of vegetables. Walk for at least 30 minutes a day for 5 days in a week. Your sugar level are under control. Keep it up.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Mentioned glucose levels are too high. In such case usually we adviseInsulin treatment for at least first 3 months along with oral antidiabetics then after achieving strict glucose control Insulin can be reduced or discontinued. That is always a better line of treatment. The reason is with such high glucose levels, beta cells are very severely affected. Hence early glucose control is advisable. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The dosage of various medicines for glucose control can be adjusted on the basis of patients needs, doctor's advise and also based on dietary intake. Usually Glimepiride is either given once a day or twice in some cases. Metformin can be given 3 times a day again depending upon the need. Voglibose is usually recommended with each meal, that is three times a day. As it is mainly for reducing post food glucose rise. Thanks.

Mr Vijay, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Please tell me what is your question? The drugs prescribed are for treating diabetes.
There is absolutely no information on blood glucose levels(fasting & PP), HbA1c%, weight, height, age, diet pattern, extent of daily exercise, BP readings& lipid profile. So there is no way to comment any thing. Thanks.
