Hello, Thanks for the query.
Your fasting glucose is a bit high. Ideally FBG should be < 100 mg & PP 160 to 170 mg. It is important to look at your overall lifestyle along with the drug treatment. As regards taking the talet that yiu have mentioned, it is claimed to be beneficial in diabtes, about which I have no idea. You can try it along with metformin. Thanks.
