Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
High blood sugar levels for long time do have dangerous effects on brain, kidneys, eyes, nerves, heart.
As your dad is not getting sugar control with prescribed medication, I would recommend you to consult physician again so that doctor will look in to addition of drug or replacement of medicine or insulin injection.
Ask him to continue 30 min of exercise daily, diet changes and consult doctor again.
Best regards,
Dr. Neelam.
