Urgent issue about my Diabetes Type 2

I have done hba1c test from Agilus diagnostic on 6 June 2026, it was 5.8 (FBS - 106) . Again on 21 July 2026, I did Hba1c test from Agilus diagnostic and result is 5.5 and FBS - 115. I doubt these both results because of below mentioned points :- 1. I am diabetic type 2 patient from last 4 years. 2. I have taken treatment only once in last 4 years when my Hba1c was peak at around 11.7 in June 2025. I have taken medicines from June 2025 to October 2025 and stopped medicines when my Hba1c was 5.5 and FBS - 98 as per doctor's advice. 3. From June 2025 ( When my treatment was started ) and till now, I am on very strict diet as required for diabetics mangement. 4. But from last 1 month, I think my symptoms has started showing again like urge for pee every 1-2 hours, urge for pee in midnight, itching on foot. Etc. Please help me out about what should I do next because test results are not matching with symptoms.
