Your father is Diabetic. Surely he must be getting treatment under the supervision of some General Physician in your area. Please let your father take Melatonin also under the supervision of the General Physician. There should be someone to attend to him if sleeps for too much time.

Patient's detailed medical history is required. It is recommended to consult a doctor professional through the Practo app or visit a local medical facility for a thorough evaluation. Please keep in mind that detailed medical history is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.
