Hello, Thanks for the query.
I am sure aware that in a well controlled diabetes patient FBG should be just about 100 mg or a bit more, PP should be 150 to 170 mg& HbA1c% closer to 6.5%. That means there is a need to achieve much stricter glucose control. Usually if fasting glucose goes above 140 mg, then you should increase night dosage of Insulin by 2 units and if post lunch level goes above 180 mg...more

Dear Mr. lybrate-user,
I note that for a height of 158 cm (5'2") your weight of 82 kg is too much. The ideal weight for your height would be 55-60 kg. If you go on a very strict 1500 calorie diabetic diet and walk for 5-6 km per day your weight will start coming down and along with this your insulin requirements will come down
