Hello..
Glimeperide can be increased and there is no evidence of interaction with saxagliptin.
You can initially take glimeperide 2 mg morning and 2 mg evening alongwith saxagliptin.
Since you are allergic to metformin the only next option will insulin after you have maxed out of glimepride which is 8mg daily dose.
