Doctor: A doctor may need to adjust medication if blood sugars aren't responding appropriately to medication. A comprehensive history is necessary, including review of blood sugars, diet, and screen for other illnesses if necessary before such a decision is made. Your dad needs to discuss with his doctor. Better sooner than later.
