Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum .

Since , you are taking metformin (2000 mg ) +deanil 10 mg from last 6 years and still blood pressure and glucose level id not under control.
In my opinion , this is the time to change the drugs ( both) as both may have get resistance.
Now upload exact fasting as well post prandial ( meal ) sugar level .
Also wirte down the exact report of blood presuure along lipid profile .
If possible get in an X ray of abdomen ( pancreas).
Consult a Diabetologist and get his opinion.
Good luck.
