Suggest Remedies To Control Type 2 Diabetes In An Elderly Person

About metallic taste.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I can understand your concern regarding to your friend's health and i do appreciate it.
Metallic taste is not related to blood sugar.
Usually it is caused by some medications ( claritromycin, captopril ect.). Sinus infections can be another cause too as well as food allergies ( shellfish, nuts).
If it persists i would suggest to see an otolaryngologist.
An otolaryngologist may order a taste test to determine the cause and extent of the taste disorder. Taste tests measure a person’s response to different chemicals. He may also order imaging studies to look at your sinuses.
Congratulations for blood glucose control and wish her good health.
Kind Regards,
