Dear sir
It clearly indicates that you are having insulinopenia. which means your circulating insulin levels are very low,
In cases like this increasing the dosages of glimiperide and metformin will not improve the control in blood sugars.
Secondly it is indicated to add a basal insulin like NPH or Glargine at the bed time as earliest as possible because it will decrease the glucotoxicity.
Thanks
