Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query. Fasting & pp glucose levels are very high, showing diabetes is not controlled at all. It means current treatment is not adequate at all, needs to be upgraded. Ideally fasting should be < 100 mg, pp 150 to 170 mg & hba1c% <6.8%. Therefore there is a need to give a re-look at over all treatment which includes drugs, diet and exercise. There is no mention of weight, height and diet so difficult to say anything further. Thanks.
