Why are my 49-year-old father's blood sugar levels still so high (161 before breakfast, 286 before lunch, and 301 before dinner) while taking insulin, Metformin, Amlodipine 5mg, Envas 5mg, calcium, iron, serratiopeptidase, an antacid, and vitamins, and how can we get his sugar under control so he can safely have his urgent surgery for multiple broken bones?

His blood sugar levels are likely elevated due to the intense physical stress and pain from his broken bones, which triggers hormones that counteract insulin and metformin. To get his levels safely under control for surgery, please contact his surgical team or endocrinologist immediately. They can temporarily adjust his insulin regimen, potentially using a sliding scale, and ensure his other medications, like enalapril and amlodipine, are optimized. His medical team is highly experienced in stabilizing blood sugar quickly to ensure he can safely undergo his procedure.
