Hello Doctor, my mom is 47 years old. She is diabetic from Jan 2017. Last week when she checked her sugar level its 266/456 (before/ after). Previously she was taking glycomet trio1 1 tablet per day. After testing, doctor said tablet is not digesting properly so he changed to glycomet trio 2 morning - 1 tablet and evening 1- tablet. After 1 week tested again, sugar level remain same as 240/454. Now he changed tablet to triformin 2 tablet per day .Asked to wait for 10 days and check again. She does 1 hour walking in the morning. And she is active throughout the day. She has two roti/ wheat rice at night. What's the problem here? I means why it is not reducing even after changing the tablet?

Sorry to know that your mother is having diabetes and is not controlled by tablets that doctor is giving her and inspite of the fact that she takes a proper diet and exercises daily her blood sugar continues to be high. In her case it would be fruitful to start insulin In patients with extreme hyperglycemia, insulin should be started immediately to lower glucose levels. The patient may present with any of the following: Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels >250 mg/dL; Random plasma glucose consistently >300 mg/dL; Please do contact your doctor in this regards.
