A 10.8 HbA1c number is higher than ideal. High sugars can result in excessive thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue. Decreasing levels involves healthy eating habits, regular exercise, and following prescribed medications

Lab tests help doctors check health issues. Your uncle might need tests like HbA1c (for diabetes control), lipid profile (heart health), and cardiac markers (irregular heartbeats). With kidney disease, creatinine levels usually rise. That may cause fatigue and swelling as kidneys struggle. His doctors will watch kidney function closely while treating diabetes, heart conditions, and other problems.

Diabetes can affect your eyes in a big way. It can cause serious damage to the retina, a part of your eye. This problem is called diabetic retinopathy. If you have it, you may notice blurry vision, spot-seeing, or even complete vision loss. But there's help. The main thing is keeping your blood sugar levels under control. Take your medicines exactly as the doctor says. Eat foods that are good for you. Check your blood sugar regularly. And get your eyes checked often.

Your dad took too high a dosage of his medicine. He could feel woozy, shaky or tired. Glimpride 2 mg is stronger than his 1 mg dose. It can cause blood sugar levels to drop way too low. Give him sugary foods or drinks to boost his sugar. Watch him closely. Let the doctor know right away what occurred.

This can lower blood sugar levels too much. Watch for signs like shaking, sweating, not thinking clearly, or fainting. If these symptoms show, give your father some sugary juice or soda immediately. Monitor him closely. Call for medical assistance if needed. Be more careful counting out medication doses next time.
