hi sir/madam
i can understand your concern
in my opinion your doctor had done an excellent job by suggesting you thr best medication.
your blood sugars as per your report are in good control
i suggest you to continue the same medication.
i suggest you to check your average blood sugar to understand about your blood sugar in a better way this test is called as Hba1c%.
Hba1c% below 7% is your target.
hope this explains
Regards
