Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
As per your history, though post prandial sugar level is under control but your HbA1c level is on much higher side.
Higher HbA1c indicates higher risk/chances of diabetic complications. So for better control, I would suggest to take insulin Glargine injections at bed time after diabetologist consultation. You can start with dose 6 IU.
Otherwise, if you are not comfortable with insulin injection than you can take morning dose of tablet walaphage along with tablet diamicron after diabetologist consultation.You may require further dose adjustment as per sugar level.
Along with that do regular blood sugar level check up at least three times a day. Watch for hypoglycemia symptoms sweating, fast heartbeats, severe hunger. Follow strict diabetic diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
