Your fasting blood sugar is near target, but your post-meal levels (240-250 mg/dL) are significantly high. Please do not adjust your doses yourself. Notably, you are taking Metformin in three different medications (Gemer, Metlong, and Galvus Met), which likely exceeds the safe daily limit of 2000mg. To control post-meal spikes, your doctor needs to urgently streamline these oral medicines to avoid toxicity. They may also adjust the timing or dosage of your Human Mixtard insulin (typically taken 30 minutes before meals). Please consult your diabetologist immediately with a 3-day blood sugar log to safely restructure your prescription.
