Diabetis and covid

2021-09-27 16:19:33
My father was covid positive. It has been 14 days already. At present he is taking predmet 16 medicine. He has no symptoms at present maintains oxygen level 97. No fever, BP 120/70. He is diabetic. At present his blood sugar level shows Fasting -225, PP- 351. Is there need to give insulin to my father? Is sudden rise in sugar level a side effect of predmet 16?
