The sugar reports should not be interpreted while you are not regular with medicines. I would suggest you start taking the medicines regularly (whatever you are on) and then check your sugar levels from a lab after a week. Looking at those reports we can make the changes. Generally I would advice to increase the dose of Metformin and reduce dose of glimeperide. Start safer drugs like DPP4I or SGLT2I if needed.
