Fasting blood sugar should be less than 126 and post prandial (after food should be less than 160) ideally. She might need a change in her dose or might need new medications. She needs to be reviewed by the physician.
That being said, if there is a change in her routine i.e. She is getting less excercise or eating in an appropriate way that needs to be addressed.

Do not substitute or change any medications without the consent of the doctor who is treating the patient. If needed you can discuss about your doubts to the doctor who can help you understand the situation. The doctor tries to give what suits the individual patient and asks you to come for review regularly ( personal examniantion ) so that the present prescription is based on clinical and other findings.

Losartan is anti hypertensive so if given will reduce the bp which can be risky in person with normal bp.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Losartan is used to treat high blood pressure. It is possible that doctor must have prescribed it for controlling the high BP. Since there is no mention of any BP readings, it is difficult for me to know exactly. Thanks.

If bp is 200 it is dangerous.
It is less then 140.
So consult your physician and adjust years doses and drugs.

you can be shifted from one to the otherif BP is staying out of range. Usually BP should be checked once every month on fixed dates after resting for ten minutes. Medicine should be changed after 3 month trial and only if it is not achieving desired BP
amlodipine is slow strong effect. Losartan quicker but milder.
