Hi, thanks for posting your concern in HCM. First, I would say that diet and lifestyle changes are the most critical part in the management of diabetes. And your boyfriend has a poorly controlled diabetes. Please get him the following tests done- fasting and 2 hr post prandial plasma glucose, HBA1c and fasting lipid profile. I don't know what pills he has been taking. But, with these reports he might need insulin too. But, above all, he needs to be on a high fibre diet with restricted fat and refined carbohydrates. Exercise is also very much needed. Write back to us for any further information. Thanks and best wishes. Dr. Kaushik
