Thanks for the query.
Blood glucose fasting 168 mg is fairly high, suggesting improper control. What are ther values like PP glucose and HbA1c%? Ideally in a well controlled diabetes fasting glucose should be < 100 mg, PP 150 to 170 mg & HbA1c% < 6.8.
Another important aspect is your excess weight, with a BMI of 32.91 kgs/Sq meter (normal < 23 kgs/Sq met). This does affect glucose control as excess fat increases Insulin resistance. Plus it also make one lazy and weak. So please consider ...more

lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.

It is because of you being overweight with a BMI of 28.9 kgs (normal <23 kgs/M2) almost close to grade 1 obesity. Your ideal weight should be 54 kgs, which means you carry 20 kgs extra.

Sir/madam,
the main problem is obesity bcoz bmi is around 30. Your father fasting sugar is bit high but don't worry about it. I have some suggestions:-
first, we have some good drugs for better control of blood sugar. The medicine you are on will not be sufficient.
Second, we can suggest exercise and medical nutrition therapy for diabetes.
Third, weight reduction of about 5 to 7 kg over a period of 6 to 9 months will help alot.
Fourth, plan for hba1c, serum creatinine, lft & ...more
