Hi XXXXXXX
Your mother is having Parkinsonism and her treatment seems to be all right for it.
I have gone through her blood reports and following are my comments.
1) Her blood sugar level is within normal limits FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar) 116 & PPBS (Postprandial blood sugar) 141.
2) Her Triglyceride level is high, but at this level only diet change like reducing fats and high carbohydrates diet and if some walking if possible, drug treatment is not required.
3) She is having Parkinsonism; I fail to understand reason why she is taking Sizopin? I am sure there must be some reason for it.
Risperidone (Sizopin) is atypical antipsychotic and can cause extra pyramidal effects as well as elevation of blood sugar level.
Hope this information is useful to you, please let me know the reason of use of Sizopin and if any other query you have, I will be available to clarify it.
With Best Regards.
