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.

If your thyroid and sugar both under control, then don't think too much. Thyroxine is to be taken on empty stomach and metformin to be taken with food and both doesn' t have any interaction with each other.

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.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
The details given are unclear. Since there is no mention of actual fasting, PP glucose levels,& HbA1c% there is no way to give any suggestions. Because by saying " sugar level & HbA1c5 are in good control" I do not understand what is considered as normal. thanks.
