Hi Ajay,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Your blood sugar is not under control.
2. Medications needs to be increased along with diet modification. Also moderate exercises and weight reduction is essential.
3. Uncontrolled blood sugar damages multiple organs. These damages are not reversible. Meet our doctor for altering your medications dose. You are already on high dose, think about starting insulin.
4. Backpain could be due to osteoporosis. X-ray is necessary to identify any local pathology. Do back exercises. Meet your doctor to get an X-ray done.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
