Hello,
Let me know please your last HbA1C value? If not done, Kindly do after consultation. Please follow up with reports. As your doctor already started medications, so don't increase dose by yourself, otherwise it may cause hypoglycemia.
I will suggest you to continue medications as advised for 1 month, then repeat fasting and post prandial blood sugar. As per that report physician will adjust dose of medications. Kindly follow proper diabetic diet after consultation with dietitian. Do regular exercise for at least 30 to 45 mins.
Kindly follow if you have any query.
Take care.
