Since my current medication, GLIMY M2, is not controlling my diabetes?with my recent tests showing a three-month average blood sugar of 8.8, a fasting blood sugar of 161, and an after-meal blood sugar of 274?what alternative medication should I take to better manage my blood sugar levels?
Your HbA1c of 8.8% and high daily readings show that GLIMY M2 (which contains glimepiride and metformin) needs adjustment. Do not worry; we have many excellent options to help. Your doctor may suggest optimizing your metformin dose or adding other generic medications, such as sitagliptin or empagliflozin, to help your body process sugar more effectively. Please schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider to safely discuss these alternatives.
