Sugar Level not decreasing with Insulin
My uncle have had diabetes for over 40 years. Mostly it was under control. Recently over the last year his sugar levels have been fluctuating. Now in the last 3 days they have been gradually increasing and today fasting was 269 mg/dl and PP was over 520 mg/dl. He takes insulin and increased it by 2 units in the last 3 days. Still sugar level not coming down. Possible reasons and recommended treatment?
