Hello Doctor, my father is suffering from diabetes. Day before yesterday he made a test for which results are Fasting -347 & PP- 589. Doctor recommended Gemer Ds2. But by taking that particular medicine, suddenly the sugar level dropped down to 238 & my father was feeling very uneasy. Today again he made a fasting test for which results are 243. Doctor has now recommended Metsmall 500. But again my father is feeling uneasy. I wanna know is there any solution to this? Should we change the doctor? Waiting for your valuable feedback. Thank you

Hello there, Thank you for your question. The blood sugars your father is currently having are very high. The best remedy for him would be to start insulin. Although his sugars are not low they have come down from the beginning levels of 500 and so your father is feeling uneasy. Having a fasting of 243 warrants insulin to be started. Request your doctor to start insulin, I am sure your doctor will guide you for the same. Also give him enough water and keep him well hydrated in the meanwhile. Thanks and Regards Dr Shreya Kunder
