You need proper antidiabetic medication.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The fructosamine test is a tool for measuring how well your diabetes treatment program is working that is somewhere between home blood glucose monitoring and Hemoglobin A1c. In other words it means that you have uncontrolled diabetes. The mentioned symptoms are a likely result of the same. Proper medication or dose adjustment is required and stringent control over blood sugar is needed. You need to visit a doctor for the same. Proper control over blood sugar will bring down the fructosamine level.

Let me know if I could help further.

This is strange that HbA1c level is ok but fructosamine is raised. I think that the report needs to be cross checked.
