Dear sir

As per your history the fasting sugar is little low when compared to normal ranges.

When ever fasting sugar go below 80 mg/dl, we need to be cautious to avoid hypoglycemia.

As you are telling that you are taking insulin, well There is one way, reduce the dosage of night insulin so that the fasting sugars will go up slightly.

Thanks
