Dear sir i can understand your concern.
i am able to see some fluctuations in your blood sugar.
in my opinion making the tablet metatime 500 mg twice daily after food might be sufficient.
This tablet metatime contains metformin which is a very good medication for diabetes.As the time progresses in diabetes we need to upgrade medications for better control.
New medications like DPP 4 inhibitors can be tried.
i suggest to speak with treating doctor for dose change and adding of new medications.
diet and exercise are very important along with medication
