My wife aged 52 years is suffering from hbp since 1988 and from dm since 2008. Her sugar is uncontrolled at present. All sorts of tablets and insulin given to her does not show any result. Earlier she was taking basalog injection 20 units at bed time alongwith trejenta=duo 8. 5/1000 and gemer forte tablets. At present she is taking novo-mix 30 insulin 24 units before breakfast and 16 units before dinner. She is also taking tab-glucobay-m 25/500. For hbp she is taking olsartan-h-40 and cd-pin in morning and met-xl-50 in evening. Her weight is 49 kgs. There is no family history for hbp or dm. Her latest reports are fbs-278 and pp2bs-380. Hba1c 12. 7. Doctors say that she is having insulin-toxicity. Diet is being followed strictly. Even though we are not getting any positive results. We are confused and worried where to go and what to do. If you can advice in the case, it will be a great help. Thanks.
