High blood sugar not decreasing

2020-07-09 11:52:11
My mother has been a diabetic (type 2) since her thirties. Two days ago, she tested her blood sugar (post meal) which came to be 400. The next morning we tested her fasting blood sugar levels which were 250. Then, today, 3-4 hours after meal another test was done which showed her blood sugar to be 340. Why are her blood sugar levels not going down? And what can be done to optimize it because 400 is too high. She's currently taking  Janumet 50/1000 and Cetapin XR. Please help.
