Hello Mr. lybrate-user, Thank you for your query. Diabetes is a chronic disease which, if not controlled can lead to permanent damage to heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves and blood vessels in our body. To control diabetes for your father, he needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle with eating, sleeping and exercise schedule along with medications. As he is already a patient, he might be on some medications. You need to visit a diabetologist with recent sugar reports for better management and sugar control. Follow simple tips such as have small, frequent meal every 3 to 4 hours, avoid deep fried, bakery items or direct sugar in form of juices.
