I am borderline diabetic since the last 10 years on Diamicron Mr. 30 mg once (bbf) daily. I am male, 45 years, 64 kg, BMI less than 22. Recently I got my tests done and the reports are as under: HbA1C: 6.7, Renal Profile: WNL, Heomogram: WNL, Thyroid profile: WNL, Liver profile: SGOT: 39.5, SGPT: 66, other value in normal limits, LIPID: WNL, Fasting Insulin: 2.43. I see that my HbA1c has started increasing from 6.2~6.3 to 6.7 now in the last 1-2 years. I go for 50 minutes walk every day. Should I add some drug to the existing medication? Pl advice.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Usually when treatment is on for a number of years, there is a possibility of some increase in HbA1c%, mainly because you are on same drug for a long time. You have not mentioned recent Fasting & PP levels, those also do give an idea. There apears to be a need for either increasing the dosage or ading another compound for better control Thanks.
