jus discontinue morphine, sever vomitings is one of the side effects of morphine,coming up to the level of amputation is serious manifestation n this requires alarming care in regulation of blood glucose levels, and strict diet control..if not it may lead to septiceamia..

To be followed strictly
1. regular medications
2. low carbhohydrate diet
3.completely avoid sugar containing foods, fruits,and vegetables(especially those grow underground)
4.mainly to have physical activity..especially walking, cycling ect.(as muscle cells n brain cells dont require insulin(whic requires to trasport glucose) to absorb glucose from blood its best n regultes blood glucose levels
