Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern. I reviewed the laboratory results you sent (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity). I noticed that your blood sugar levels are high. In my opinion, taking Glycomet-GP 1 (Glimepiride and Metformin) twice a day will not help to control diabetes. I suggest you require a dose increase. Take it three times daily for a week while monitoring your fasting blood sugar. Continue with this therapy if it is decreasing. If not, the dosage should be raised from one to two tablets, taken at least twice daily. However, please consult a physician, discuss with them, and start taking the medications with their consent.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
