Hello, Thanks for the query. I am sure the doctor treating you, must have talked about what are the levels expected when diabetes is very well controlled. Your fasting looks good enough, (ideally it should be < 100 mg), but PP is very high, suggesting there is no proper control of blood glucose. PP should be between 150 to 160 mg and HbA1c% <6.8. The remedial actions have to be 1) Appropriate upgrading of current treatment (no details are given), 2) Proper dietary management, taking exact amount of calories as needed based on ideal body weight, extent of daily exercise and glucose levels. 3) Regular exercise and weight maintenance. Thanks.
