Diabetic Patient

Asked for Male, 81 years

My father is 76 years old, diabetic since I remember and because of diabetes, his kidneys got affected. One is 26 percent and other is 92 percent working, high blood pressure is another thing and he is heart patient too. 2 weeks ago he suffered from pneumonia and after that, his appetite affected massively. He doesn't feel like eating. Anything we can do to make him better, any suggestions?

Dear Patient,

Your father has been through a lot. Make sure he has some kind of routine where he can go outdoors for an hour in a wheelchair and interact with neighbors and nature. Give him 2 scoops of glucerna mixed in a glass of water once or twice a day. Try getting him any good sugar-free B-complex syrup (1 tbsp daily). Give him small frequent meals rather than large ones. Make mutton or desi chicken in lots of runny gravy and feed him with soaked bread. Give him milk if he can take it and yakhni as well.

For further help, we recommend checking with one of the best endocrinologists in Karachi and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/karachi/endocrinologist
