Hi Dear

I can understand your concern

Your sister 25 years old is recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes six months before and she is on Amaryl and Metformin currently. Fasting blood sugar of 6-7 is not on higher side and I would advice against addition of any further medication.

Rather than random value, I would suggest you to check Post Prandial Blood Glucose (PPBG) & HbA1C (3 months average blood sugar levels) which would give more idea about her complete blood sugar profile.

I would also recommend and advice her for Diet control and Exercise, which also plays a huge role in blood sugar control in Diabetic patients.

Hope this helps

Thanks and Regards
