From the Electronic Drug Tariff
Repaglinide 1mg tablets 90 £10.29
Repaglinide 2mg tablets 90 £5.86
Repaglinide 500microgram tablets 90 £9.12
dose start 1/2-1 mg max dose 16 mg
Metformin 500mg modified-release tablets 56 £5.32
Metformin 750mg modified-release tablets 56 £6.40
Metformin 1g modified-release tablets 56 £8.52
so ~max dose =#32p-96p/day
So probably cheaper on Repaglinide than Metformin so THAT will be the NICE driver
