Despite having a little elevated fasting blood sugar of 140?150 mg/dL, your HbA1c of 6.8% indicates that your diabetes is quite well controlled. Commonly used medications like Istavel 50 and Glycomet GP 2 Forte should not have their dosages changed without first consulting your physician. Try timing meals better, cutting less on grains and sweets at night, going for daily walks, and routinely checking your fasting blood sugar. Only if your fasting blood sugar levels remain elevated will your doctor change the evening dosage or add another medication.

  1. Interpretation of Current Fasting Sugar and HbA1c Levels

    • Fasting sugar 140-150 mg/dL and HbA1c 6.8% indicate suboptimal control and require adjustment.

  2. Medication Assessment

    • Current medications: Sitagliptin (enhances insulin), Glimepiride (stimulates insulin secretion), Metformin (reduces glucose production).

  3. Recommendations for Medication Adjustment

    • Consider enhancing Metformin dose or adding SGLT2 inhibitor like Dapagliflozin for better control.

  4. Specialty Care Referral

    • Referral to an endocrinologist is advisable if adjustments fail to improve control or complications arise.

  5. Monitoring and Lifestyle

    • Regular glucose monitoring, diet modification, and consistent exercise are vital for improved control.
