Hi,
Thanks for your question.

At present you are on optimal dose of Glynase and Glycomet. With this your blood sugar levels are out of acceptable range.
Considering absence of heart or kidney disease in you target blood sugar levels for you are
Fasting below 130 and Postprandial below 180.

It is advisable to do
- HbA1c which gives fair idea about blood sugar control over last 3 to 4 months.
- Kidney function test.
- Urinary albumin creatinine ratio.
- Lipid Profile.
- Liver function test.
- Thyroid function test.
- ECG and if required 2DEcho.

For blood sugar control I will advise addition of Voglibose with lunch and dinner.
Frequent monitoring of blood sugar levels.
Depending upon blood sugar levels and HbA1c level future changes in medications can be done.
All this need to be discussed with your doctor.

Hope this helps you, if so do vote.
