Her fasting blood sugar of 158 and after-meal level of 311 are elevated. After 12 years of diabetes, the body's response to treatment naturally changes, meaning her current medications?Gluconorm G1 (glimepiride/metformin) and Tenglyn 20 (teneligliptin)?may need a dosage adjustment or a treatment update. Please do not worry, as this is a very common part of managing long-term diabetes. I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with her doctor to safely adjust her therapy. In the meantime, keeping a daily log of her blood sugar readings will be extremely helpful for her physician.

Because your father is taking the blood thinners ticagrelor (Brillinta) and dabigatran (Debigartan), coughing up blood requires immediate medical attention to ensure his safety. While his morning blood sugar of 86 is in a healthy range, his elevated inflammation marker (CRP of 12.1) and blood clot marker (D-dimer of 663) need prompt evaluation by a specialist. His diabetes medication, glimepiride/metformin (Gluconorm G2), is stable, but a doctor must urgently assess the bleeding and hiccups. Please take him to the nearest emergency room or contact his cardiologist right away so they can safely care for him.

For prediabetes (fasting sugar of 110 mg/dL), lifestyle changes like diet and exercise are always the essential first step and can often reverse it. However, because your wife also manages high blood pressure with Stamlo (amlodipine), the specialist may have prescribed Gluconorm SR (metformin) to proactively protect her heart and metabolism. Both approaches are reasonable. A great middle ground is to ask her doctors if she can try dedicated lifestyle changes for 3 to 6 months first, monitoring her blood sugar closely, before starting the medication. Always consult them before making any changes.

Given your three-month average, attempting to manage your blood sugar through diet and exercise is a very safe and highly reasonable next step. Slightly elevated fasting blood sugar can often be improved by adjusting evening meals and staying active. I encourage you to partner with your doctor to monitor your progress as you transition to lifestyle management.

While a rapid drop in blood sugar from 312 to the 90s can sometimes cause dizziness, sudden confusion and slurred speech are critical warning signs. These symptoms could stem from his recent severe infection, a reaction to his medications like Gluconorm VG2 (which contains blood-sugar-lowering ingredients) or Aflogip, or a serious neurological event such as a stroke. Because sudden slurred speech and confusion require urgent evaluation, please seek emergency medical attention for your father immediately to ensure his safety.
