Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. You have mentioned only fasting glucose, it would have been better if after food values were also given. HbA1c% 8.6, is definitely high. Which means your blood glucose control has not been good during last few months. There is a need to upgrade the present treatment plus a closer look has to be given to your diet and daily exercise. You are on Glibenclamide, an old sulfonylura, it is better to change it to a newer compound. Thanks.
