Brief Answer:
Your medications need to be changed

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, greetings again . I saw your report . you need to change your medications . you need ARBs and gliptins . better to start taking insulin injections. You have nephropathy too due to uncontrolled sugar levels. Meet your doctor soon better to be strict in your diet . monitor your sugar levels regularly. Exercise, yoga, meditation all these lifestyle changes are must. You can still prevent further changes in your kidney and nerves . first you need to keep the sugar in control . you need to meet your treating doctor and change the medications as it s not helping you now.
Thank you .
