Hello, thanks for the query. I have gone through the information given. The glucose levels that are mentioned seem to be quite good. However, the way the numbers are given it is dificult to know which are fasting and which are pp levels. It would have been etter if you had presented the details in a tabular manner. Still the levels are quite good, suggesting there is good glucose control. Please look at the hba1c% if you have completed over 3 months with the drug that you have started. As regards variation in numbers, it is bound to occur as food intake and physical activity tends to vary every day. If fbg is closer to 100 mg & pp < 150 mg then one has very good control. So I do not see any reason to worry. Please check the hba1c%. If that is < 6.5% then you have achieved really a good control. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
