Hi
Since her fasting sugar and Random sugar are on higher levers suggest that you get her HBA1C value at the earliest
HBA1c test to be done once in three months to check the sugar value consistency in the body for three months. It is very good test to see how well the sugar is controlled in diabetic patients
if I were her treating doctor would have tried glimipride 1mg once daily and monitor for 6-7 weeks (however hypoglycemia need to be monitored regularly)
She can do exercise/walking for 45 minutes daily atleast 5 days a week
She can take sufficient vegetables and limit the rice content in the diet
Diet and exercise plays a vital role in controlling diabetes
Wish Her Good Health
