Brief Answer:
Need some changes in medicine
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to XXXXXXX
1. Your variable sugar control is due to XXXXXXX phenomenon, which happens when you are on split mix therapy. You can avoid it by decreasing the dosage of insulin at night times
2. Proteinuria signifies the progressive nephropathy which can be slowed down if you use ace inhibitor group of drugs such as ramipril or ARB such as losartan.
3. There is no alternative to insulin. However in near future the ultra koni acting insulins will come to market which you can take two or three days once. The newer group of medicines include gliptins and SGLT 2 inhibitors which are considered safe. Consult your doctor once regarding it
Feel free to ask question
Thanks
