The CDT addition is the cause of her increased urine output and may also have added to her hyperglycaemia. Ideally such situations need close monitoring and her medication should not be restructured on such online platforms. Keep consulting her physician and let him take the call. Her weight 104 kg for her height 5.1 ft is too high and must be addressed by appropriate changes in her diet and undertaking enough exercises whatever possible for her to do at this moment. The dose of CTD-T should be given early in the morning so that her urine frequency does not disturb her sleeping pattern during night. Keep watch on her Sodium and Potassium levels becaused CTD is a diuretic ought to have effect on electrolyte levels. Her salt intake should not be more than 2-3 grams (1/2 tsp) per day. Her Carbohydrates intake should also be controlled by giving short meals so that both quantitative and qualitative change of diet helps both sugar levels and her weight.

Please ask the same Doctor who has been treating her and changing her medicine.
Please don't take Tele-consultation as the ultimate answer to counter the advice of your Doctor in your area who has been treating you for years.
