Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for your query. The blood glucose levels mentioned are fairly good. It would be better if HbA1c% is known, which gives a clearer idea about control of diabetes. (ideally <6.8 or <7). Looking at your height and weight it is clear that you are over weight, with a BMI of 28.57 kgs/M2. Your ideal body weight should be 60.75 kgs. It means you need to cut down weight for achieving better control. Weight reduction by a few kgs will help in getting blood glucose in better control. Thanks.
