Hi
Thanks for writing to HCM.
She is doing good on her glycemic controls as it seems apparently. She her HbA1c done. Moreover her BP is 140/90 is acceptable. Headache and neck might be of some other origin. There are chances of having cervical spondylitis. A neck X-ray would clinch the diagnosis. Paracetamol 500 tablet might help her in betwwen. you can also apply diclofenac/felbinac gel locally.
Hope this has helped with your query. you can write write back to me if you need any further assistance.
