Question

Mr. Bohra, Thanks for the query. Both fasting and PP glucose levels are too high, suggesting current treatment is not adequate. There is a need for up grading it. Plus you will have to give a closer look at your diet and extent of daily exercise. In blood glucose control along with drugs diet and exercise play a very vital role. Please mention what is the HbA1c%? Ideally when diabetes is well controlled fasting should be < 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg and HbA1c% < 6.8. If you have any specific questions or need any assistance, please come in a private conversation (aid consultation) with all above details, then I will be able to give necessary specific guidance. Thanks.
