Brief Answer:
You are on good set of medications
Detailed Answer:
Dear friend, Greetings from HCM. If you can change your lifestyle with these medications in time you will definitely be healthy.
Firstly, you need to get your lipid profile, thyroid profile, microalbuminuria and HbA1c checked. Also keep record of your fasting and post-prondial glucose record every day for a month in your diary with a well calibrated glucometer. Your medications are sufficient for time being if you are committed for lifestyle changes.
Stay away from all the fast / processed and fried food stuff. Divide your meal in to 4-5 parts per day whenever you feel hungry with 2/3 snacks in between. That helps to keep the sugar levels constant throughout the day. Add more of fiber rich food stuffs like green leafy vegetables, raw fruits (not juices), take very less of carbohydrates (rice) avoid sugar completely.
Consume more of protein rich food, like egg white, fish is good source of omega 3 & 6 fatty acids. Moreover, beetroot juice (inorganic nitrate), olive leaves, garlic, turmeric, also have proven benefits. Say no to oils and cholesterol rich food stuffs. Based on this, with the help of a dietician, you prepare your diet chart and strictly follow it.
Physical activity is very important, play games, walk at least half an hour to one hour a day. This not only helps you to burn calories, but also to relive your stress. Music is another way to relax too. Try and practice yoga, meditation and pranayama. Quit smoking (if) and reduce your alcohol intake.
If u can follow these (have to!!) you can definitely see difference yourself by the time you have your next blood investigation report in three months time
Wish you good health. Do feel free to ask more queries. THANK YOU
