Brief Answer:
Need to increase dose of Metformin.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Clearly your blood sugar is very high, this indicates your medication dose is inadequate. ( Also your diet and exercise may not be optimum ).

I would recommend you to increase the dose of metformin to 1000mg at night. Also kindly let me know the dose of Glyburide and also your Postprandial blood sugars.

Total Cholesterol is slightly high , no need of medications for that. But I recommend you also get Serum Triglycerides and LDL checked and revert back with reports.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards.
