Hello, Thanks for the query. First and foremost is his blood glucose levels must be well controlled as well as BP. Because if glucose is not well controlled, digestive process can get adversely affected. Taking digestive enzymes is definitely useful. Please ensure that his fasting glucose is < 100 mg or near 100 mg, PP 160 to 170 mg & HbA1c% <7.Unless proper control is achieved digestive enzymes may not help. Thanks.
