Suggest Medication For High Blood Sugar
my father is 80 yrs old this last summer he had very high blood sugar cause he was unaware of an issue, went to over 400. Then he took 2 pills a day and went to normal. Now his fasting level has been around 100-130 varying. Today this am his level was at 260. He checks it every few days. Is there some logical reason for this? He said he does not have symptoms other than this reading.

Dear sir I can understand your concern
in my opinion diabetes should be controlled by diet exersise and medication
sugar control my be disturbed when diet is not maintained
In a elderly patients it's very important to avoid low sugars so I feel that even 260 after food is not a bad sugar in your father
I suggest you to check for hba1c
try to maintain balanced diet
relax
