Specializes in Endocrinology

See his doctor: If your husband's blood sugar stays up most of the time, then he should get his diabetes regimen adjusted. If the regimen is suboptimal or wrong, the blood sugar will be high no matter what kind of food he eats. Please get him to see his physician to re-evaluate his treatment regimen.

Dr Nguyen and another doctor agreed
