Brief Answer:
I may suggest HbA1C.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question.
Noted your concern.

Whatever blood sugar levels you have mentioned are within acceptable limit.
But HbA1c carries more value rather than Fasting & post-prandial blood sugar levels as a indicator of blood sugar control. HbA1c denote blood sugar control over a period of 3 to 4 month.
So I may suggest HbA1c for better information.
Continue your current medications.

Hope this helps you.
