Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. The glucose levels mentioned fbg 96 mg & pp 180 mg /100 ml, show you are having good control. At your age hba1c% should be around 7%. Gaseousness is usually a side-effect observed with acarbose that you are taking. If it is too troublesome, then you might consider stopping it, so talk to your physician. Some times certain foods also tend to produce more gases, so please look at that aspect too. Thanks.
