Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
I appreciate your concern for your father.
Your father's weakness is due to his blood sugar going very low.
For an elderly person, the ideal blood sugar is around 100mg fasting and around 140 mg two hours after food. This can be achieved by decreasing his medicines or improving his food intake.
If you would let me know his height, weight and the medicines he is on, I can advise you appropriately.
Best wishes,
Dr Noble Zachariah
