Why Metformin And Glimpride Tablet Granules Are Visible In Stools?

I am taking combination of metformin 500 + Glimpride 1 for sugar control. Of late, I have noticed that the tablet gets passed in my stool. My sugar management has also gone poor. I tried to take the talet after crushing it but the granules are visible in my stool. What should I do ?
