Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

I think your sugars are very well controlled with addition of galvus met. however i would suggest meeting your diabetician, cause HbA1C, as per me, is too tight a control and may put you at a risk of hypoglycemia. Of course the risk of hypoglycemia is low with the combination

As for the raised levels of SGOT ad SGPT, i think the levels may be higher because of Azathioprine or imuran that you take for Crohns disease. It is a known side effect of azathioprine. meet your gastroenterologist accordingly. And repeat your tests regularly

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.
