Should we increase the Insulin to control PP sugar level?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

For the past six weeks, we have been noticing that my father's PP sugar levels after breakfast are in the range of 195 to 250 mg/dL depending on what he eats. Fasting levels are more or less fine. He had done his laboratory tests before two months and his HbA1c was fine. I have attached the blood reports along with his current medications list. Should we increase the Insulin? Please explain. Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern for your father. For uncontrolled sugar, I would suggest adding Voglibose available as tablet Volibo 0.3 mg before each major meal twice a day. Increasing the Insulin dose might risk him with hypoglycemia. Consult his specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with their consent.
