Hi welcome to HCM.
So, you are heart patient with Hypothyroidism and diabetes who is worried about fasting blood sugar.. My advice to you is.. -
*Don't get panic about blood sugar levels you have at present.. Fasting is slightly elevated. And after meal it is well controlled.
*you need to slightly increase your night time dosage of antidiabetic drug.. For that you should consult a diabetologist.
*repeat following blood reports every 3 monthly for perfect control
-FBS
-PP2BS
-HBA1c..
*avoid heavy meals at night time.
Thank u. Still you have any query u can ask directly..
