Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. Usually at your age hba1c% recommended is < 7%. However, if you are maintaining < 6% hba1c% means the control is excellent. If you have no problems or no troublesome issues of getting hypoglycemic episodes (glucose going < 70 mg), then there is no reason to reduce the drugs.

For your lifestyle & busy work schedule, an hba1c of 7% is quite good.

It is very difficult to give a clear answer why it happened. But it appears the earlier treatment of giving two sulfonylureas (SU) together was a wrong approach. Ideally one of the SUs is given along with metformin most often. Secondly diabetes itself damages glomerular filtering membrane in the kidney, this leads deterioration of kidney function. That leads to increase in creatinine level, protein excretion etc. In such situation Insulin is the best medication for blood glucose control. Ideally...more

This line of management will improve your overall general condition. Do not forget to follow timely food intake with reduced salt and oil along ...more

To help control your diabetes, eat food that is good for you and exercise. Controlling diabetes means maintaining blood sugar levels (a1c) within the target range. This will do more than anything else to help prevent diabetic neuropathy from getting worse. Initial and ongoing tre...more
