hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
The sugar level you have mentioned are higher than normal. But you have mentioned only one sugar level. That could some times happen based on food taken that day or physical activity.
Give some period of time for the body adjust to new dose of medication.
If sugar levels are persistently high even after a week with present medication, the dose is to be increased discussing with treating doctor.
Hope this guides you. For any other queries you can write to us. we will be happy to help you. Thank you.
