Hello,
Diabetes Since your mom's sugar level is 320,It doesn't seems to be under good control.
I would advice your mom to take the prescribed drugs for diabetes regularly every day.Apart from this she has to adapt life style modifications like
1.Regular exercises like brisk walk for about 30 minutes a day,
2.Reduce the weight
3.Intake of foods containing lot of dietary fibres and
4.Avoid eating sugars.
5.Get regular checkups of blood sugar levels and also Do HbA1c report.This will help you to know the long term control of diabetes.
Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you.
