New appointment: Your post-prandial blood sugars should be down into the 100s 2h after meals. You may need triple diabetes therapy with januvia (sitagliptin), (sitagliptin) metformin, and actos. A1c should be 7.0 or lower. You may need to add Zetia to the Lipitor to reach your lipid goals. Always observe proper lifestyle changes with low-carb, low-fat, prudent diabetic diet; and weight loss with exercise! consider Bydureon instead of januvia (sitagliptin).
