Hello,
Both the medicines are all right for control of diabetes.
If the levels of blood sugar are fasting 100 and random 158 with glyciphage,then there is no need to start glimmipride.
In addition he should take proper dietary control along with regular aerobic exercises for at least 45 minutes a day.
Thanks
