Hi, thank you for posting.

I read your question very carefully and I can help you.
Glycomet GP-1 is a good antidiabetic medicine for Diabetes type 2. This medicine reduces glucose production in liver. However, your glycemic level is high.
You can use Glycemic Gp-1, but I recommend to my patients to use an additional medicine, such as Maninil (Glibenclamidi) 5mg 1/2 pill a day. The dosage is dependent on glycemic level.

You should also reduce carbohydrates amount in your diet.

Consult your endocrinologist.

Take Care.
