Diabetes out of control
My mother's (53) diabetes is out of control. She often refuses for sugar tests. Today her fasting sugar is 274. Few days ago random sugar was 224. She is taking Glimistar M2 twice. Can you kindly prescribe any other medicine? A medicine containing voglibose didn't suit her in past and she had vertigo everyday she took it. She do morning walks daily. Diet is under control.
