1) optimise her diet. 2) encourage her to exercise atleast 30 mins daily. If she has not been exercising, consult her Dr. Before she starts. 3) reduce the dose of dibizide m to 1-1-0-1. 4) increase the dose of zita met 50/500 to 1-0-1. 5) repeat blood sugars after 1 week. 6) try to keep her hba1c around 7%. This will take 3-6 months. So be patient. All the best!

Dear, a proper measure for knowing and managing mothers diabetes will be to ensure a hba1c below 6.5%. She is on lot of medications already. Regarding diet, we indians have high carbohydrate diet. You have to closely observe your plate and you can come up with a better diet plan for her. To simplify it, identify the items which are carb rich in your plate and try to compensate the same with protein and fibres, for eg cut down a roti and increase sabji, dal or salad. To have a better control you can do a monthly self glucose monitoring 3 times a day and keep a track of your food with it. Check fasting sugar, sugar one hour prior your lunch and 2 hrs post lunch, and note down the details of your breakfast and lunch items. Modify as per my earlier suggestions and within a week you will see your blood sugar level responding. Best of luck.
