Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
It is very difficult to comment on this prescription until and unless one has at least two successive reports.
But if the same combination is being followed for two or more months, then in my opinion glycoselated haemoglobin is on little higher side.
If your last reading of glycoselated haemoglobin was about 7 or 7.5 ,then there are two possibilities,
1.You have changed your diet.
2.you may have decreased your exercise.
If this is not the case then the dose of drugs need to be adjusted accordingly.
Please contact your treating doctor, you can also give reference of this conversation.
Good Luck
