Hello, Thanks for the query. I have gone through the details given. Nowhere you have mentioned current glucose levels (fasting & PP) and HbA1c%. So difficult to know how is the problem now. Plus you are saying she is not taking any sugar or chocolates. I do not understand, why this is being stated? A person with diabetes is NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT SUGAR OR SWEETS , INCLUDING CHOCOLATES. Most of the food taken by us is containing carbohydrates (Rice, wheat, jowar, bajra, potato, other millets) all of these get converted to glucose only. Hence glucose level can go up. There is a need to take a properly planned restricted diet. So there is a serious need to look at her diet and daily exercise. Then also look at increasing Insulin dosage. Thanks.
