Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details given. It is not clear whether blood glucose level mentioned is fasting, PP or random one. Considering your age, fasting glucose can be around 110 to 120 mg & PP can be about 180 mg or so. What is the HbA1c%? It should be around 7%. One imprtant factor is you have excess weight with a BMI of 32.81 kgs/Sq meter(Normal < 23 kgs/Sq meter). Your actual body weight should be around 54 kgs. Hence, there is an excess of over 30 kgs. This it self can be a great hindrance in controlling blood glucose. You may need an additional drug also. Thanks.
