Please give medication details because sometimes it may be a side effect of medication. Go for cardiologist for better care.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
I want to know if the patient is taking the medications properly or not.
And why dont you keep a check of the sugar levels on a regular basis.
Kindly consult a diabetologist or a MD consultant physician in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
