Brief Answer:
Diabetes
Detailed Answer:
It is unlikely you have type 1 diabetes because in that case you would have needed mostly insulin.
Anyhow, I see you are asking for substitutes of Glyree M1 and Melmet SR 500.
To the best of my knowledge there is no equivalent of Glyree M1 in USA. You can take separate components though ie Glimepiride 1 mg and Metformin 500 mg
Melmet SR is also available in the USA as Metformin Extended release 500 mg.
The only catch is that you will need a prescription for these in USA. In XXXXXXX you cannot get prescription medication over the counter. So you will need to find doctor who may be able to oblige you
