What steps can we take to help lower my 63-year-old father's blood sugar levels, which remain very high at 350 to 400 on an empty stomach and 450 to 550 after meals, even though he eats a balanced diet and takes his daily medications of FIASP (12 units three times a day), Lantus (24 units at night), and Zava OD 100 mg once a day?
Since his readings remain between 350 and 550 mg/dL despite taking insulin glargine (Lantus), insulin aspart (FIASP), and Zava OD, his current medication doses need an urgent review by his doctor. Please contact his healthcare provider or an endocrinologist today to adjust his insulin regimen safely. In the meantime, ensure he stays very well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and avoid any strenuous exercise while his numbers are this high. If he experiences extreme thirst, confusion, nausea, or rapid breathing, please seek emergency medical care immediately.
