Hi

There are two issues here

1. You sugar control
2. Difficulty in sleeping because of nocturnal urination

As far as your sugar control is concerned you fasting is still a little high. It should be alteast

As far as the second question is concerned, I would suggest you go for a prostrate screening first. If the screening is normal, sometimes diabetes can cause autonomic dysfunction which can cause bladder issues. Leakage of sugar in urine itself can cause this as well. There are medications for the same which can be prescribed. I would suggest you go for a prostrate examination and get back to us.
