Hi.

I can understand your Concern.

You have not specified the Fasting levels which would have make it more clear idea about your glucose control, I would also advice you to check Postprandial blood sugar and HbA1C levels as well.

In Diabetes, High fasting blood sugar level can be caused because of Production of Glucose from Liver and Insulin Resistance.

Both the drug in prescribed combination should be continued and I would advice to increase the Dose of Metformine from 500.

You can have additional 500 mg of metformin at night for better glycemic control.

Thanks and Regards
