Hi!
As the duration of diabetes increases the pancreas tends to lose ability to secrete insulin and glucagon both and hence slight change in diet/ dose of insulin leads to highs and lows of sugars. Also age of patient along with presence of other conditions like kidney disorder/ liver disease impacts the management.
Acidity can be because of diabetes medication.
Sleep has to be restored
The best is to keep sugars in moderate zone rather than trying to control stringently.
Next Steps
