Hello, Thanks for the query.
You have mentioned only random glucose. There is no mention of fasting, Pp glucose levels and no HbA1c%, so difficult to comment on the diabetes control.
But looking at your height and weight it is clear that with a BMI of 33.43 kgs (normal < 23 kgs/Sq meter) you already in grade 1 obesity, going towards grade 2. This shows an excess of over 26 kgs. This can be a major hindrance in achieving required glucose control. Thanks.
