A member asked:

I am 190lbs on a regular exercise program , take my meds regularly and still see my fasting blood sugar range between 7.5 - 8. & 5ft 9" .

Need med change: I assume the values you are quoting is your a1c levels as fasting glucose should be around 80-120. You need to have someone re-evaluate your medications, as exercises and diet are critical but can not control your sugars completely.
