My dad finds everything he eats bitter, because of which he is eating a lot less lately. He is 62 years old with high BP and high sugar level (intake of insulin along with tablets). But enjoys eating sweet items. This is the case for past 2-3 years, consulted many doctors as well but no effective results yet. Please suggest me something to reduce this.

His taste sensation has altered or his taste buds are not working properly. Try to make him understand that eating sweat items will increase his insulin requirement and that may increase his weight which is not good for diabetes and high BP and for his overall health.
