Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Your glucose control seems to be fairly good. Ideally HbA1c% should be <7%, but 7.4 is also not bad. There appears to be no need to change any medication. However, looking at your weight and height, it is clear that you are over weight, because at your age ideal body weight should be < 63 kgs. So if possible a bit of additional physical activity and better diet control should be practiced. Thanks.
