After 4 months check my hba1c has decreased from 5.8 to 5.3. Please find the report Attached but my hemoglobin has increased from 16.9 to 17.6 is it fine?

T3 level is 0.94 T4 level is 7.96 TSH Total is 14.10 Weight 52 kgs,not able to gain weight, what other test should be done and Is medication required

I would like your advice on my recent lab results from January 16, 2026. My HbA1c has risen to 7.5%, showing an upward trend from 6.85% in October and 7.0  in July. My current fasting glucose is 140 mg/dL.   I am currently taking Metformin 500SR twice daily and walking 1 hour per day. My other markers are, including a Creatinine of 0.92 mg/dL, SGPT (ALT) of 25 U/L. SGOT 15, Lipid Profile: Triglycerides 96 mg/dL , HDL is 62 mg/dL,Cholesterol 182, LDL 111 My Question: Given this upward trend, can I safely add one tablet of Himalaya Diabecon ( Ayurvedic ) at night alongside my Metformin to help lower my fasting / Hb1AC levels? Or should I stick to my current dosage and a stricter diet for 3 months before re-testing?

Hi, one month back my first time hba1c was 6.8, after diet and exercise it is 5.7 in a month, i am planning to continue the same diet. Let me know
