i have been administered glimster 1 and forxiga 10 is forxiga 10 lifelong pills

Ans: If these are the only medicine you are receiving for diabetes medicine, there is need for urgent review and discussion with your physician.

Metformin which is insulin sensitiser and first line drug for all Diabetes type 2 treatment guidelines (unless person has intolerance to it) is missing from your treatment.
Then, Glimestar is sulfonyleurea which may be stopped after a few years but Dapagliflozin (Brand name Forxiga) is useful drug and need to be stopped only in case of severe infections of UTI etc.

In short, get your treatment reviewed by a physician
