Dear sir/madam
i can understand your concern
in my opinion you are on very good combination of medication.
as per your Hba1c% you are having fair control of diabetes
the difficult part in your diabetes management is your body weight.
your BMi is around 35 which is not a favorable condition.
in my opinion i suggest you to consider doing daily exercise
Discuss with your doctor reading a new medication called Victoza which helps in reducing weight and also help in diabetes.
