Brief Answer:
need further investigations as well as through clinical evaluation..

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX, Welcome to HealthcareMagic,

I've gone through your query and understand your concern for your father,

Now retirement from a long term working life can certainly have all those symptoms that he's experiencing.. But before that, we need to exclude other organic causes behind these too..

Diabetes and hypertension has to be controlled with not only medications but lifestyle changes and modifications also (otherwise medication alone won't be suffice)..

When was his last comprehensive health check-up done ? Ho were the reports ?

Please upload all the latest investigation reports as well as the doctor's prescription whom he visited and under treatment, let me have a closer look at the things before advising specifically..

Physical activity has immense role in regulating over all body's metabolism, so yes if not done at his age, they can certainly hamper the blood sugar level as well as sleeplessness..

You need to motivate him for this, every single day, try to keep him engaged with some daily activities which interests him..perhaps try joining some social group/club of like minded people which will help him a lot.. along with this, you can start going for jogging along with him daily in the morning and evening, which will motivate him to stay active daily..

Apart from this, a healthy diet, devoid of any kind of smoking.alcohol is always advisable..

Let me know all those details, so that I can guide you better..


Take Care
Kind Regards
