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

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. From the hba1c% it is clear that there is no proper control of blood glucose. Ideally at your age fbg should be < 100 mg or closer to it. Pp should be 150 to 160 mg & hba1c% < 6.5%.
Therefore it is clear that there is a need to upgrade the treatment, which means we need to look at your diet, extent of daily exercise, weight & height. Information regarding these aspects is not there, so it is difficult to comment. ...more
