Brief Answer:
Vitamin D supplementation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I have gone through your reports and have noticed that vit D is insufficient. Fasting blood sugar is high I would suggest you follow up with your treating doctor for any alteration in the doses.
For vitamin D he can take Dvion sachets, 60000 IU once a week mixed with water for 4 to 8 weeks. Other ways is spending half an hour in sun between 11 am and 3 pm everyday will help his vitamin D to increase.
I hope this answered your query.
