The details given show that diabetes is not in good control. Ideally fasting should be about 100 mg, pp 150 to 160 mg, hba1c<6.8%. The present treatment needs to be upgraded with additional drugs or change of dosage etc. Plus there has to be a closer look at dietary pattern and extent of daily exercise. Your bmi is 25.62 kgs /m2 (normal <23 kgs/m2). Hence, it will be good if you come in a private conversation where I can prescribe additional medications and advise dietary changes etc. Thanks.
