Your sugar levels are slightly above target but fairly controlled with metformin. You can use Ayurvedic medicines, but only as a supportive treatment, not as a replacement for your diabetes or BP medicines. Always inform your doctor before starting them, monitor sugars closely, and focus mainly on diet, weight control, regular exercise, and good sleep, which are most effective for long-term control.
