Hello,
Your sugars are slightly higher than we would prefer. We would like your fasting sugars to be less than 120 and your after meal sugars to be less than 150. Also your optimal Hemoglobin A1c would be less than 7. If you have not had the HgbA1c done ask your doctor to do that test and he or she can make medication suggestions based upon the result
