Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

I think he is on too many medicines. I would suggest, looking at the symptom profile that you have mentioned, that his sugars should be checked again, especially when he is having the symptoms.

There is a large possibility that the medicines he is on are being too much for him and his sugars are falling low, thereby causing him the symptoms

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
Best of luck.
