Hi, I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.

First let me appreciate you for your positive approach in diet and exercise.

The sugar level you have mentioned are higher than normal. With time, in Diabetes, the dosage of drugs initially controlled blood sugar may not be able to control. This happens because with time passing by, The insulin production or action still get reduced.

Then we need to go for either increase of dosage or addition of new drugs under treating doctors advice,

Hope this guides you. For any other queries you can write to us. we will be happy to help you. Thank you.
