For What Ailment Is Glycomet Tablet Prescribed?

Hi, am 47 years, male. Having sugar from last 3-4 years. My sugar levels were 180 fst, and 300 after food. I changed life style, and started taking Gemer 1 tablets twice a day. Now sugar levels reduced to 122 fst, and 180 after food. But my tryglycerides showing high as 252. To bring it down, Doctor advice me to take Glycomet 500 Mg, replacing Gemer 1. My question is, Glycomet is to reduce sugar ? Or cholesterol ? To reduce weight ? Any side effects?
