It is most likely the Glimepride causing the weight gain. I suggest that you go back to your GP, and discuss options. You don't say what dosages you take, but it might be possible to reduce the Glimepride and increase the Metformin.

Hi Ranganna, While you're waiting for a doctor appointment, do some extensive research on diet and herbs to see if you can get your diabetes under control with less meds.
I help my elderly mother with her diabetes and was shocked when I read the side effects of her meds. It seems they all cause problems that would exacerbate the diabetes. Mostly kidney and liver problems.
I've had my mother on an extremely disciplined diet, along with herbs and have managed to reverse much of her type II diabetes symptoms.
She no longer requires prescription meds.
This doesn't work for everyone, but it's worth a try.
