DEAR USER, HI! TO TELL YOU WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, I NEED TO KNOW HER PRESENT SUGAR VALUES. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW HER CREATININE, LIVER PROFILE, TSH STATUS. ONLY AFTER ALL THESE DETAILS I WILL BE ABLE TO TELL YOU WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. KINDLY CHECK HER 4 SUGAR VALUES- FASTING, PRE LUNCH, PRE DINNER, BED TIME AND LET ME KNOW. REGARDS!
