Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. If blood glucose is 358 mg after a meal, then it too high, suggesting absolutely no control and present treatment is ineffective. Needs an upgrade. In a well controlled person fasting glucose should be < 100 mg or closer to it, pp should be 150 to 170 mg & hba1c% <6.5%. You have not mentioned either the fasting glucose or hba1c%. Therefore there is a need to know following" fasting glucose, hba1c%, lipid profile, weight, height, extent of daily exercise, dietary pattern, bp plus serum creatinine and urea. Hence, my suggestion is please come back with all the above information in a private conversation so that I will be able to give specific advise and also prescribe necessary medications. In this communication we are supposed to gve general guidelines only, no drugs can be recommended or prescribed. If you are not willing for online consultation, then please get in touch with your local diabetes specialist or a physician and get necessary upgrade done. It is absolutely essential to achieve a strict glucose control to prevent or postpone svere long term complications associated with diabetes. Please decide early. Thanks.
