Fasting Diabetes Level at 140
Hello, my mother is suffering from Diabetes from last few months. At first her glucose level was 200 for fasting. We started proper diet and medicine (Metaformine Hydrochloride 500MG) 2 tablets per day. Now her glucose levels are stuck at around 140 for fasting. She is doing mornig walk, exercise and proper diet, still glucose levels are not coming down. She is feeling much better now than before but still we are concerned because normal level for fasting is around 100. Should she increase the medicine ? Or please suggest what should we do? Let me know if you need any further details from my end.
Thanks!

Need to know a few more details. Likely will need to increase medication. Can add newer ones too. But other checks required to screen for any complications.
