Since Diabetes is a chronic condition, it needs regular monitoring. The changes in the dosage or change of medicine itself can sideringne after a thorough check up and can be done considering past and the present reports. It would be ideal for you to follow up with your doctor and be in touch as frequently as possible (till the blood sugar levels are brought into fair control ).

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 (paid consultation). In this communication we are supposed to give only general guidelines. No drug prescriptions can be given. Therefore, if you come in a private communication with following details: Fasting, PP glucose levels, HbA1c%, present dietary pattern, extent of daily exercise, drugs being taken with dosage, BP readings and lipid profile details, then I will be able to help. Thanks.
