DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM

I UNEDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN..

AS SUCH TAKING NITROGLYCERIN IN PATIENT WITH DIABETIC CAUSES NO HARM..

ITS USUALLY GIVEN WHEN PATIENT IS SUSPECTED TO HAVE EITHER ANGINA OR HEART ATTACK OR SOMETIMES FOR HIGH BP EVEN ON CLINICAL SUSPICION

REGARDING YOUR PATIENT BEING TIRED IN DIABETES THERE ARE MANY CAUSES OF TIREDNESS.. A DETAILED EVALUATION OF THE PATIENT BY A DIABETOLOGIST CAN HELP TO FIND THE CAUSE

IF HIS SUGAR ARE NOT GETTING CONTROLLED AS YOU SAID HE HAS HIGH HBA1C. HE MIGHT BE STARTED ON INSULIN THERAPY AFTER CONSULTING A DIABETOLOGIST

HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
