dear sir I understand your concern.in my opinion your sugar control is fair.if your sugar values are above 180 consider 1000 mg of metformin.this a very safe drug and having anti cancer properties also.then quit smoking .check sugars twice weekly only along with that get your HBA1c done.rest every thing is fine with you.....regards
