Please consult the same doctor who has advised you these tests because I do not know why these were done. You are hugely mistaken if you believe that doctors just see the reports and make a diagnosis and treat the patient. First, we have to know why we are doing the tests. Then, when the reports come, doctors have to correlate your complaints to the test reports. The test reports are not standalone. By the way, what work do you do?

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.

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

Mr Prawal Bora, Thanks for the query
I have seen the details given. Your fasting is definitely high, but PP and random are quite good. This may be due to food intake, particularly the dinner. Since there is no mention of HbA1c%, it is difficult to comment on long term control. However, another important aspect is your excess weight, with a BMI of 29.39 kgs/Sq meter (Normal < 23 kgs/Sq meter), you have excess of over 15 kgs.
