If your blood sugar levels are consistently around 85 -90 mg/100 ml, then there is no need to take any medication. But I would advise you to keep checking sugar level at once every 3 months.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
From the details given it is clear that present treatment is not giving good control. There is a need for upgrading the treatment. Plus a need to look at the diet and extent of daily exercise.

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Since there is no information on fasting, pp glucose, hba1c%, lipid profile, dietary pattern & extent of daily exercise, there is no way to give any suggestion. Secondly your bmi (body mass index) is 28.65 kgs/sq meter (normal < 23 kgs/sq meter) which means you have an excess of over 15 kgs. This is a major hindrance in better glucose control. Plus I do not understand the reason for changing the medication. Please come ba...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Tablets with either XL or SR mean the drug is released slowly over period of 12 hours or longer. Other tablets have normal releasing compound where action may last for 6 to 8 hours or longer depending upon type of the compound and its pharmacokinetic characteristics. . Thanks

You need to stop these medicine as your sugars are not under control which can lead to major diabetic complications.
Fasting should be less than 130 and post lunch should be less than 180
start combination of oral anti diabetic medications for good control.

Get treated with Ultrasonic therapy which would directly heal the calcaneal spur (inflammation of the calcaneum bone) which causes the heel pain in majority of the cases.
