question: Dear doctor, I am a 75 year old male. I had type 2 diabetes since six years. Since then, I am taking Glycomet 500 mg twice a day. My fasting and PP levels (lab results) are as attached. Kindly go through my case and enlighten me on the following:  How is my control of diabetes? What are latest blood glucose levels for diabetics prescribed by ADA for diabetics? Can I reduce my Glycomet dosage to half, that is, 250 mg twice a day and check my glucose levels at home to know whether there is an improvement? I have yet to go for three months glucose level test.  I am also associated with subclinical hypothyroidism since five years for which I am taking Thyronorm 88 mcg.  I observed over this period of six years, I lost much of my fat content and muscle though I did not lose weight. My TSH level is 4.8. My weight 63 kg, BMI 21.7. I never felt any weakness or fatigue. I walk 4 km every day. I am not sedentary. I wish to know that this loss of fat and muscle, is it due to hypothyroidism or Glycomet intake. Please be kind enough to advise me clearly.
