What Causes Elevated Sugar Levels Despite Insulin Shots?
Hi Sir, My mom sugar level prior to breakfast is 120 and post breakfast is 210. She needs to go for cataract and tooth removal but doctor advised unless until sugar is reduced we cannot fitness certificate. She is using insulin daily even though sugar level remains same for the past one month. Please advise

Welcome to HealthcareMagic
Following your mother increase in sugar level despite being on insulin therapy I am suggesting possible conditions which include
type 2 diabetes(non insulin dependent)
Insulin resistance
Stress/anxiety for going into surgical procedures
In view of this she need be clinically assessed by a gastroenterologist specialist and will require psychiatric counselling to relief stress
I hope this helps
