Your father's readings confirm diabetes. A negative urine ketone test is positive news as it helps rule out acute complications, but doctors typically differentiate Type 2 diabetes using HbA1c tests and clinical history. While 223 is elevated, it is not an immediate emergency. I recommend consulting his doctor for an HbA1c test to assess long-term control. For his height and weight, a balanced, low-glycemic diet of about 1,500?1,800 calories daily, rich in fiber and lean proteins, will help gradually lower his blood sugar.

I have a chronic cough and I catch cold even with slight weather changes. I also have type 2 diabetes and I am taking Zoryl 1 and Galvus 50 regularly. What treatment can help control this repeated cough and cold problem?
Repeated cough and colds with slight weather changes may be due to allergies, sinus sensitivity, chronic throat irritation, exposure to pollution, asthma tendency, or reduced immunity. Diabetes can sometimes make infections and airway irritation last longer, especially if blood sugar control fluctuates. Zoryl 1 and Galvus 50 help control diabetes, but recurrent cough and cold may still continue if allergy triggers or airway inflammation are not addressed properly. Avoiding dust, smoke, cold drinks, pollution, and sudden temperature changes may help reduce repeated irritation. Steam inhalation, warm fluids, proper hydration and regular sleep can also support recovery and reduce throat sensitivity. Keeping blood sugar stable is important because uncontrolled diabetes may increase infection risk and delay healing. Doctors sometimes advise antihistamines, inhalers, anti-allergy treatment, or sinus evaluation, depending on whether the cough is related to allergy, asthma, sinus drainage, or chronic airway inflammation. Persistent symptoms may need chest examination, allergy assessment, or lung evaluation. Consult a doctor if the cough lasts for weeks, disturbs sleep regularly, causes wheezing, or is associated with weight loss, chest tightness, or repeated fever.
