Answers:
HbA1c should be less than 7.0.

7.0.
Some of the meds do make you gain substance. The avandia website even tells you that "Avandia can cause your body to hold on to extra fluid, which leads to swelling and weight gain". I hope your doctor referred you a nutritionist to back you manage your diet and maintain your FBS to smaller amount than 100 and HgBA1c to less than 8. Additionally you can ask for a endocrine consult. Endocrinologist is a specialist in treating DM. If these lingo are not familiar to you then you should also ask your physician to refer you to a diabetes educationalist. Treatment of DM is for the long term, uncontrolled sugars can lead to diabetic eye disfavour, kidney disease, nerve damage and more. This not a disease that is to say treated with just a pill. This disease requires life span style changes and frequent monitoring. If one med is not working next another med should be added or even insulin. Please ask to see an endocrinologist.
There are several studies out recently that enunciate that Avandia is very bad and can do health problems.
One of the problems with diabetes is that you come across to eat 'round the clock.
Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner , snack.That is not necessary anymore when you cram to count carbs.
Please see an dietitian, a diabetes educator and a great Endocrinologist.
Educate yourself and you control your diabetes with the oblige of your medical team.
Good luck Source(s): diabetes for 20+ yrs
