Hello,
Her blood sugar is high, so need to increase the dose of insulin at night, if blood pressure normal means continue Prazocine, Hydralazine and Amlodipine drugs.
If she is very sleepy, then decrease the dose of Duloxetine drug. Please consult your physician for further evaluation and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
