Brief Answer:
Fasting seems high.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Things are acceptable. fasting is a little high. for further investigation we need your HbA1c, renal functions, TSH, FT4, lipid profile. Gluconorm-G 1 is a good medicine. You can continue it safely. but as your fasting is high, I would recommend adding tab Glycomet to it before dinner.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks for your reply. I am taking Gluconorm SR 1 G once in the morning and once at night. Do I need to take Glycomet 500 mg at night along with Gluconorm SR 1 G. Or only Glycomet 500 mg has to be taken at night. Please clarify.
I shall get the tests done as suggested by you and upload for your perusal.
Regards.
