Brief Answer: may need to alter diet Detailed Answer: HI, thanks for using healthcare magic If you previously needed both the metformin and glimeperide to control your blood sugar, it is likely that your blood sugar may rise unless something else is altered to control them. This means that you may have to either alter your diet or activity level in an attempt to keep the blood sugars under control. Since blood sugar is only elevated with the use of carbohydrate foods, reducing your intake of carbohydrate foods while you are on the reduced medications may be helpful to you. It is important to note that some persons may control their diabetes so well in this way that it either becomes normal or too low, you would need to watch for this by monitoring your blood sugars in the event the the medication may actually need to be reduced or eliminated. If you reduce these carbs , it might be possible to control your sugars some what. This means reducing bread/biscuits/rice/pasta/potatoes/sweet potatoes. your meals would be salads /vegetables with protein. these meals would not increase your blood sugars. I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
