Regarding diet post treatment
Sir/ma'am
Good morning . My grandfather aged 71 had completed his entire cancer treatment (surgery+igrt+cisplatin) previous year for oral scc buccal mucosa stage 4. He is presently feeling normal and able to carry out his day to day activities normally but he gets tired very easily. He is diabetic with recently done hba1c of 7 . My query is can we start giving him one spoon of diabetic protein powder in milk every morning to built his strength? Kindly guide. He is purely veg and consumes a balanced diet.

You can give your father normal diet as well as diabetic protein powder. Dal has protein and it will help to regain strength to some extent. It can be supplemented with green leafy vegetables.
Next Steps
Regular follow up as advised by your doctor.
