Dear sir I understand your concern.let me explain you the problem you are facing.The typhoid is a disease of small intestine so during recover from typhoid it will be difficult for us to absorb the digested food.So kindly give her simple foods like barley water,starch,vitamin syrups and minerals.
for the next two weeks she will be little week,kindly give her sufficient fluids never dehydrate her.In worst conditions you should go for IV fluids also.
During this period stop all diabetes tablets and keep her on insulin for few days until she recover.
I suppose I have given the desired response if you have any other query please write back.
Otherwise please accept & rate my answer. I will appreciate your review about my answer.
Best Regards.
