Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details given, where there is nothing mentioned like actual glucose levels (Fasting & PP) & HbA1c%, so difficult to know what is the actual situation. Because nothing is clear when you say "sugar is normal" as I am not sure what is normal according to you. Plus there is no mention of age, tablet strength (Glycomet once before breakfast) & what is that 20 mg for BP & what is the BP reading? Unless all the details are given specifically, no comments can be made. As regards taking Ayurvedic drugs those can be taken if one feels necessary. But modern medicines should not be discontinued. Thanks.
