High Blood Sugar Levels
Hi Doctor
I have been taking the medication that you prescribed Janumet for controlling blood sugars.
But my levels are raising even high when compared to when I was taking Diamicron xr60 and Gluconorm sr 500.
They are around 200 fasting and 400 after food. But before I had fasting sugar of 100 and aft food 250-300. That itself was concerning me and now after taking new course of medication my levels are even high. Please help if this is good to continue or should I go for other medication.

Are you currently taking only jsnumet? Or diamicron and janumet? If it's janumet alone, it won't be enough to control your current blood glucose profile. Kindly provide the details of medication and hba1c. We need to add medications.
