Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. Your glucose levels are too high. It is a situation of uncontrolled diabetes. This can lead to early setting in of long term complications associated with diabetes, affecting eyes (retina), nerves (peripheral neuropthy), blood supply to lower limbs, loss of sensation and ulcers on foot and heart related issues. Ideally fbg should be < 100 mg, pp 150 to 170 mg & hba1c% < 6.5 % considering your age. So it is clear that current treatment is absolutely inadequate. Plus there is a need to give a closer look at your extent of exercise being done daily, dietary pattern, lipid profile and bp readings. Therefore, either come back with all the details mentioned above in a private conversation so that I can give specific guidance and even prescribe necessary medications. In this communication we are supposed to give only general guidelines. No drugs can be prescribed. Or else please consult your local physician and get the treatment upgraded as well dietary advice. Thanks.
