Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

From the reports you have attached it looks like you have uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
Here is how you should go about it

1. I recommend that you increase Tab Metformin to 1g in the morning and 1g in the night. I also suggest that you take Tab Volibo 1 tablet during lunch to bring down post prandial sugars. Consult your doctor regarding this.
2. Tighter control of blood sugar is essential. Follow a strict diabetic diet
3. Walk for minimum of 30 min a day
4. I also fat restricted diet, avoid fried items and also food rich in fat like cheese, buuter, etc

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me. Please keep a glucometer at home to see for fasting sugars at regular intervals.
