Hello, is your father on anti diabetic medications? Give him small frequent meals every 2hours. His sugar is still high.
Next Steps
He might need increase in his medicine dosage for some time. Does he perform mild physical activity on a daily basis.
Health Tips
It is necessary for him to maintain a steady sugar level. U could take him for small walks n then slowly make him develop this habit on his own.
