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.

Take 500 mg of sustained release Metformin after dinner also. It should improve your fasting sugar levels.

Get her investigated for lipid profile too.

Dear lybrate-user
1) your present medication will not help.
2) your sugars are high and may need insulin
3) early insulin therapy prevents further complications.
4) do her hba1c and consult me on private.

No, you should not have done that. Only if you feel symptoms of low sugars (tremors, uneasiness, sweating, hunger) then you should have some sugar.
If you have a glucometer, check sugar levels before having sugar, to avoid unnecessarily high sugars.
For the first instance, it's ok. Nothing to worry about.
