Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question..

After going through your question , I can understand your concern.

Type 2 Diabetes is due to insulin resistance.

Tab Gemer 1 contains Metformin 500mg and Glimeperide 1mg.
Tab Glycomet contain Metformin 500mg.

Metformin decreases insulin resistance. Glimeperide increases insulin secretion. Whatever the medicine given to you are appropriate.

Along with it, you should control diet and follow regular exercise.

Hope I have answered your question,
I will be happy to answer your further questions, if any.
