Hello, Thanks for the query. Since your glucose control is quite good due to present treatment, then there is no need to change any dosage. Continue the same and also take a restricted balanced die and do regular exercise. Thanks.

Hello Mr. lybrate-user. Your hba1c value is pretty good. Whether to go up or down in medicine depends on your age.

Dear lybrate-user as I can see your blood sugars are very much under control as per your recent reports, I suggest you to watch for low blood sugars symptoms (hypoglycemia). Till then you can continue the same regime #besafe.
