With numbers that good-have you asked your Dr. to take you off meds.?
I was taking glybiride/metformin 2.5/500 2 tabs twice a day. I am now taking less than 2 tabs a day. If I don't take the meds, my sugar will increase, so I will probably be taking the meds the rest of my life, but in this case, less is better.

My BP was also off the charts and was taking 20 mg of lisinopril daily. That has been cut to 5 mg a day. FWIW, I'm 58 and had a total knee replacement just under 3 months ago.
