Dear lybrate-user, you need to control your sugar levels more tightly to avoid sugar related complications in future. You hba1c should be controlled to <6.5 at this age. There are so many other medical history needed to evaluate more precisely apart from medicines. Your basic diet pattern, your job profile, physical activity, family history of diabetes, any present symptoms etc. You can contact me on this platform for detailed diabetes consultation. Take care.

Sudipta Dutta Diabetologist · Answer

Your hba1c is high against your fasting and pp results. It means sugar has not been controlled for last 3 months. You need more control on diet and exercise. Also there are a lot of good new medicine that may help you to control your sugar in a much better way. You are very young. Be cautious about it. Its silent killer.

Mr Mithun, Thanks for the query.
Your fasting (a bit high) & PP is quite good. But HbA1c% is too hih considering the age. Ideally in a well controlled diabetic patient FBG should be < 100 mg, or closer to 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg and HbA1c% < 6.5%.
Looking at HbA1c%, there is a need for upgrading the treatment.  However, it is necessary to know following details before any advice can be given : Dietary pattern, extent of daily exercises, lipid profile, BP readings. Another important aspect is your being in grade 2 obesity with a BMI of 35.48 kgs/Sq meter (Normal < 23 kgs/Sq meter). Your ideal body weight should be 36 kgs. There is an excess of almost 20 kgs. This is a major problem in maintaining proper glucose levels. Thanks.
