lybrate-user, Thanks for te query. Your blood glucose is under fair control. Ideally FBG should be <100 mg, PP 160 to 180 mg & HbA1c%<7. Looking at your details, there may be no need to increase the dose, provided you increase the amount of exercise being done by a few minutes and reduce the food intake by about just 10 %. That will definitely bring blood glucose levels down by a considerable level. Increase the intake of green leafy vegetables and salads. That will help. If you have any other doubts please do come back. Thanks.

You may control it, by diet, exercise or higher dose of Gemer or change your medicine such as metformin 500 mg .Metformin is the first choice of diabetic patient, it does not cause hypoglycemia.
