Hello, thanks for the query. Madam, I have seen the details mentioned. From the information given I understand that her glucose level is not in control (324 mg/100 ml). But there is no other necessary information like what are the fasting, pp glucose levels, hba1c%, weight, height, dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise, bp and lipid profile. Unless all the necessary information is made available, it is difficult to give a specific advise. However, just by increasing the dosage, she may be able to reduce the glucose levels, but all other aspects are important before any advice is given. Thanks.
