How can my 84-year-old father lower his blood sugar, which has remained constantly high at 231 after meals for the past two months, despite taking Glimestar M1 before breakfast and dinner, Dynaglipt 20 mg after meals, and Cilacar 10 for his blood pressure?
I understand your concern about your father's blood sugar levels. A consistent post-meal reading of 231 mg/dL suggests his current regimen of Glimestar M1 (glimepiride/metformin) and Dynaglipt (teneligliptin) may need a gentle adjustment. At 84, our primary goal is to safely lower his blood sugar while strictly avoiding sudden drops, which can be dangerous. Please consult his physician soon to review his medications. In the meantime, ensure he stays hydrated, enjoys consistent, balanced meals with fewer simple sugars, and engages in light physical activity if comfortable. We will get this managed safely for him.
