Hello, Madam in your query there is absolutely no mention of blood glucose values (fasting, PP & HbA1c%) and present treatment. Plus other information like weight, height, extent of daily exercise and dietary pattern these details also are needed, to give any suggestion. It is better if you come back with all these details.

Hello,
Diabetes means high blood sugar. So if you mother is having low blood sugar, that means she has been started on some oral tablets or insulin that could be reducing the blood sugar to quite low levels. Also vomitings and lack of appetite can be due to medication that has been started. Please consult your diabetologist so that he can alter the medication dose.
Hope this has helped you
Thank you.
