VerifiedHello and welcome to Just Answer. I am Dr K. I have over 25 years of clinical experience and look forward to answering your question. i may need more information from you, so I may ask for that. My goal is to provide a complete answer to your question and to be sure you are satisfied with that answer.
I am sorry that you are having this problem but will do my best to assist you and answer your questions. What really is going on with your body is that you have uncontrolled diabetes. It sounds like you have been on your medications for a few months now and that your Hba1c has improved. I’m assuming that your Dr is going to increase your insulin dose.
What is your height and weight?
