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.

Dear lybrate-user as I can see your blood sugars are very much under control as per your recent reports, I suggest you to watch for low blood sugars symptoms (hypoglycemia). Till then you can continue the same regime #besafe.
