Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The glucose levels mentioned are definitely high. It appears that present (new) treatment is not suiting you. Since no details are mentioned in terms of drugs and dosage, it is difficult to comment. If the previous treatment was giving good results with better glucose control, what was the reason for changing? You should tell the doctor that you were better of with earlier treatment and hence, he should revert you to that. Find out what he says. Or els...more

It seems that the diet also is not being followed. Please follow strict diet and exercise. Continue current medicines and add tab olymprix 20 mg one after breakfast and tab pioz 15 mg one after dinner. Check blood sugars after 10 days and consult your doctor.

Hello, Thanks for the query.

Dear lybrate-user,
I find that your father is quite overweight his correct weight should be about 55-60 kg. I suggest that he go on a strict diet (low carbohydrate, normal protein and fat, walk about 5 km per day and gradually reduce weight to about 60 kg. Keep monitoring his sugars at home with a glucometer (fasting and 2 hours after each meal) once a week if the sugars get under control with this dietary modification he may not need additional medication
