Hi Bhanu , see the sugar levels you have mentioned are border line high and could be controlled with diet and workout. But because he has already started medicines , it is best to not stop them . you can ask him to follow this diet and workout on regular basis , and once his blood sugar drops , the doctor will go on rediucing the medicine dosaeg and will eventually stop it.
gOING OFF THE MEDICATIONS ABRUPTLY IS NOT A WISE MOVE.
