Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Blood glucose level with 248 mg/dl is definitely high.
However, you need to take medications as prescribed by your doctor and follow necessary recommended diet and exercise along with it.
Kindly monitor the blood glucose as suggested by your doctor and disclose the values when you consult him.
Based on the response to the medications which you are already taking, you will be put on insulin and its dose will be adjusted accordingly.
Hope the information provided helps.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
