Mr Ankur, Thanks for the query.
Good control is considered when FBG is <100 mg, PP is 150 to 160 mg & HbA1c%<6.8. (which is not mentioned). Your levels are still high. To bring down to desired values, you will have to give careful look at your diet and exercise. Bread (bakery items ) should be totally avoided. You may have to increase the intake of green leafy vegetables and salads. Plus take exact amount of calories based on your weight and physical activity. Thanks.

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query.
Fasting glucose 224 mg is showing totally uncontrolled diabetes. It is showing that current drug therapy is inadequate. Needs to be upgraded. Plus there has to be a closer look at the dietary pattern and extent of daily physical activity. Hence, all those details are made available, it is not possible to give any suggestions. As regards suggesting any change in medicines or additional drugs, it can only be done if patient comes in a private conversation...more

Dear, Yes your sugar levels are not well controlled and you are on a number of medications. But do not worry you still do not need to be insulin as we can still increase the doses of your medications. Glimepiride 1 mg can be increased so can met for min and pioglitazone. However januvia or sisal up tin is at the highest dose possible.

So it's most commonly done before breakfast in the morning; and the normal range there is 70 to 100 milligrams per deciliter. Now when you eat a meal, blood sugar generally rises and in a normal individual it usually does not get above a 135 to 140 milligrams per deciliter

Hello, Thanks for the query.
From the given information he is already on plenty of medications. A slight adjustment in Insulin dosage (increase by 2 units) and / or dietary adjustment would be more appropriate than adding any further drugs. What is fasting glucose as well as HbA1c%? At his age there is really no need for very strict glucose control. Thanks.
