Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query. Looking at your fasting and pp glucose levels, it is clear that diabetes is not at all in control. Ideally in a well controlled diabetes fasting glucose should be < 100 mg & pp 160 to 170 mg and hba1c% < 7, considering your age. It is clear that present medication is not helping, there is a need for upgrading the treatment. Apart from that there is a need to give a closer look at the diet and extent of daily exercise being done. Therefore, you may please contact your local physician or diabetologist and do the needful. Or else if you want online help please comeback with following information: current fasting, pp glucose levels, hba1c%, diet pattern and extent of daily exercise, bp readings and lipid profile as well as serum creatinine and urea. Then I will be able to give specific guidance and even prescribe required medication. Thanks.
