Suggest Treatment For Elevated Blood Sugar Levels Despite Taking Metformin

I Recently began taking Invokana along with Metformin for my blood sugar. My A1C was 7.7 last month and my fasting blood sugar has been running around 180-200. Is there a better medication to help control this, or should I be checking whether I need more testing and help?
