Hello, Thanks for the query. You have not mentioned the current fasting and PP glucose levels. That would have given a clear idea about the effectiveness of treatment. However, as your HbA1c% is 6.8%, which quite good. There is no need to worry. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.

As per your age you not need very tight diabetes control .glycomet gp1 not advised as can cause hypoglycemia in your case. If not in control better to add other ohas with no hypoglycemia risk.
