Dear Mr. lybrate-user, Your sugar levels are very good and in target range given by American diabetes association. (130 and 180) Continue it. If you are having low sugar attacks, kindly consult your current doctor to reduce the dose. Also get your eye, kidney and heart checkup routinely as a diabetes patient, atleast annually. And follow regular diet and exercise plan.

Nice to see your blood sugars are well controlled. You need not increase the dose, as it can lead to hypoglycemia which can be very dangerous at times unfortunately diabetes is a progressive disease and over a period of time you may have to increase the dosages as insulin secretion declines and blood sugar starts increasing.
