Horlicks Diabetes Plus is safe for most people with diabetes and high blood pressure when used correctly, but it is not a medicine. It is a nutritional supplement designed to provide slow-release carbohydrates and fiber that help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
It can be taken once a day, preferably as an evening or mid-morning drink, mixed with water or milk without adding sugar. However, it should not replace balanced meals or prescribed diabetes medication. Regular monitoring of fasting and post-meal sugars is important to assess how well it suits her.
Encourage her to maintain regular walks, a low-salt diet, and good hydration for blood pressure control. If her sugars remain above 150 despite dietary care, medicine adjustment may be needed.
You can also take an online consultation on Practo so I can guide you safely.
