Hello,

High blood sugar indicates the presence of an unstable diabetes. I recommend to check the level of HBa1C for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest to consult your endocrinologist to review the dosage of the treatment that your father is taking.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
