Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Tablets combining Glimiperide and metformin are usually recommended to be taken about 30 to 40 minutes before food. That is better as glimiperide being an Insulin secretion stimulating drug. But if some person does not tolerate the combination on well then it can be taken after food. Fasting glucose should be < 100 mg PP 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c% <6.8, when diabetes is well controlled. 250 mg fasting is too bad. What is the after food level and HbA1c%? It is clear that present treatment is not really helping you in controlling blood glucose. Thanks.
