Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor Service. I reviewed your question and here is my answer.
If you were using those two medications regukarly and still your fasting was not below 110, then it means you had a poor glucose control and the medications were not enough for that. You should work on your diet as welk and exercise daily. How much is your HbA1C? If fastimg is still suchh high, then you need to increase your dose or add another drug for glycemic control. If your HBA1C is high, then your doctor can consider starting insulin as well. Talk to your doctor about this.
Hope i answered your query, ask more if needed.
Thanks.
