Thank you for posting on healthcaremagic.
You havent mentioned the blood glucose values. You must ask your doctor to increase the frequency of the insulin dosages, either twice or thrice daily, till the sugars are under control. If his heart function is weak, there is limitation to prescribe certain tablets. So insulin remains the mainstay of his diabetes management.
