Hi XXXXXXX
You are diabetic and hypertensive and taking regular treatment for both.
It is good that you do not smoke or drink.
I am glad that you walk daily 1 hour.
I have seen your investigation reports there are few abnormalities which needs to be taken care.
1) HBA1c is 9.3% which is high and indicates poor control of blood sugar level so please take care of diet and dose adjustment of insulin is required, so as to control FBS and PPBS in the long run to decrease HBA1c.
2) Your Lipid profile also Triglyceride is high which should be <150 with good diabetic control this would improve if not a Fibrate drug may be added.
3) Your Vitamin D3 level is low which could be supplemented with Vitamin D3.
4) Your liver enzyme is mildly raised which could be part of fatty liver so take care of diet, or other possibility may be due to drugs which you are taking.
5) Your muscle pain may be due to drugs most likely Metformin as it is useful in diabetes so the dose may be reduced. Even Vitamin D would help to some extent.
6) You should reduce coffee intake and also try to reduce weight.
7) Please take some yoga and meditation to reduce stress.
Hope this information helps you, if you have any further query, please feel free to ask me.

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for your input.
Yes, your headache may be tension type headache and analgesic such as Calpol 650 mg (Paracetamol) can be taken as and when required. You may require prophylactic anti anxiety medicine. A prescription from your treating physician would be needed for that.
Supplementation of Vitamin D can be done after consulting with your treating Physician as prescribing online without examining you would be unethical.
We can increase the dose of insulin or get long acting insulin (Glargine) for better control of blood sugar level. That will help in reducing the anti-diabetic medication taken orally. It is necessary to discuss this matters with your treating physician, so that he can make the necessary changes.
This should be suffice for now and please inform me about progress.
