Yuor numbers are not alarming bu need improving.Why think of changing medicine?More or less all prescriptions contain the same drugs in various combinations and dosages.You may please consider the following suggestions.

Management of sugar levels is a tough job but is not impossible if you realize that the task is essentially in your own hands. The doctor or dietician may guide you but ultimately it is you who has to put into practice all that has been learnt. Diet control makes maximum difference in a diabetic condition. Avoid sugar,sweets,and any food that is loaded with sugars like mango,banana etc. Also avoid vegetables like potato,beet,sweet potato etc that grow underground. Eat more of sprouts,vegetables and greens that give you fiber,minerals and vitamins. Eat less of rice,wheat and other cereals rich in carbohydrates and demand more insulin for converting to energy. The idea should be to reduce consumption by least 200 to 300 calories per day to gain significant results.

After diet,exercise plays a very important role. Walking or jogging for 40 to 60 minutes a day will improve your glucose metabolism significantly and spend about 200 calories.Management of sugar levels is a tough job but is not impossible if you realize that the task is essentially in your own hands.

Last but not the least one should lead a stress free life style. Stress is a recognized trigger for diabetes. Practice relaxation techniques like breathing exercises,yoga etc.

You should go for quarterly check ups and annual comprehensive review with an experienced diabetologist and follow the prescriptions scrupulously

your fasting sugar is 125mg & HbA1c is 6.7. it is very very bad to know that you takes so much medecine in this stage which reduce the hemoglobin quantity in the blood. as my opinion you may take 2 or 3 table spoons raw juice of neem leaf at the morning at empty stomach and after 5 minuites take one or two table spoon juice of green termaric twice in a seek. after one week you may check the fasting and pp sugar level. if it is suitable to your human body you may continue.
