I am also experiencing radiating jaw pain, and light headed XXXXXXX (dizziness) for several weeks now ...
Brief Answer:
You may need slight increase in dosage.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
Sir, In long standing diabetes, these symptoms are common. The sugar levels you have given are slightly fluctuating and slightly higher.
The first step you need to do is get HbA1c test done, If this is higher to normal, which shows that average blood sugar level is not under control. You need slight increase in dosage or addition.
Coming to jaw pain, Pregabilin plus Methyl cobalamin drugs could help you.
You can discuss these changes with your treating doctor.
Hope this guides you. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
If you do not have any clarifications, you can please close the discussion and rate the answer. Thank you.
Wishing you good health.
