Dr, I am diabetic, hypertension, heart and asthmatic person and 60 yrs old. I am now taking glucored forte, jalra 50, insulin 30 units in am and pm, irovel 150, listril 5, korandil 10 and asthalin inhaler. Now I am able to have BP under control but my sugar level goes up to 170 or so in the morning (fasting) please suggest to me if i have to try anythingelse. Because of muscle pains i stopped storvas 10 and also my cholastral level went down very much. My primary concern is to bring down the sugar level. My hb1a test was 8.5 which is of course high. I walk half an hour daily. Very careful in diel. Help me please, I want to know what to do to bring down the sugar level
