hi welcome to hcm
your fasting blood sugar is 126 ok and your postprandial blood sugar has to come down if i were your treating physician i would advice you to take voglibose twice daily along with your medications to reduce your postprandial blood sugar levels. i will advice you to do a hba1c test which will tell your sugar levels over 2-3 month period...
