Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physcian i completely understand your health concerns.
what is her age? for how long u are suffering from it? any other associated problem like hypertension? any heart disease?
which type of insulin she is using ? what is dose of insulin she is using? what is her body weight?
what is the average blood sugar value for fasting in last 15 days? what is the random blood sugar level on average in last 15 days? is she is following the dierty advice from doctors? is she exercise regularly? what is HBA1C level?
For sugar control , insulin should be tailored according to the weight of the patient. Right now i cant comment about it. sometimes we need to add another oral agent to control the blood sugar levels but again it is strictly according to patient characteristics. second thing is ,we need to look whether it is fasting or random blood sugar which is not controlled. we need to look other systemic symptoms too.
In my opinion, she should meet ENDOCRINOLOGIST so that she can be managed well.
she should avoid sweet stuff from diet and strictly follow doctor advice. daily exercise like walk for 30 mins help her in controlling her blood sugar levels. she need to be properly counselled for timing of insulin , injecting technique of insulin and diet chart.
As far as diet supplement is concerned there are many in market like GLUCERNA available which she can use
meanwhile stay calm and change ur lifestyle
get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
