Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned, you are already on a lot of medicines. Plus the dose of Glimiperide is more than upper limit of 4 mg per day. One of the reasons for poor control could be dietary intake. Plus we will have to look at your daily physical activity. Please come back with complete dietary intake (from morning to night all inclusive), extent of daily exercise, then I will be able to guide. Ideally fasting should be < 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c5 < 7. Thanks.
