To address your high post-meal blood sugar of 256 mg/dL, your doctor may adjust your premixed insulin doses or suggest injecting it 30 minutes before meals to better target post-meal spikes. Your gastric issues are likely side effects of metformin extended-release or aspirin. Your physician can resolve this by temporarily reducing your metformin dose, ensuring you take it strictly with meals, or adding a stomach-protective medication. Please do not alter your doses of insulin, ramipril, or aspirin/atorvastatin without medical supervision. Your doctor will safely customize these changes to normalize your blood sugar and relieve your stomach discomfort.
