Hello,
Your blood sugar levels of 230 after meals are definitely high but not very high.
Your aim should be to have post meal blood sugar levels around 170-190.
This can be achieved by adding a drug called as VOGLIBOSE .3 mg 2-3 times a day.
Carry on with your current treatment.
You can discuss with your treating doctor about it.
Thanks
