You may please continue with Omeprazole.
You may please get an additional prescription from your Doctor for the following:
-Tab Ranitidine 150mg. Sugar-free antacids every three hours, particularly when on empty stomach.
-Tab Domperidone twice daily before food.
I hope these will help you further for control of GERD.
Control of blood sugar is of utmost importance.

Avoid stress and/or anxiety
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your feedback.
You have to continue these.
None of the medicines are known to cause GERD.
The A1c level is okay.
Please get a prescription for additional medications.
Avoid stress and/or anxiety as these increase GERD drastically and make medicines less effective and also increase the impairment of pre-existing diabetes and hypertension.
