Answer 4

What is the composition of these pills? what dosage is your friend taking? it is Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes?

Ideally your sugar level should be in between 110 - 130 2 hours after meals.

280-290 is very high and is not a good level to be at. If there is no coverage, you should try to regulate it yourself by finding the right dosage to keep it in the desired range.

Answer 6

i work at a Research clinic and we deal primarily with Diabetics that are uninsured. Pills are not very effective in controlling diabetes. I recommend that your friend go on line and find a clinical trial/study for Diabetics. They will provide all of the necessary meds and doctor's visits absolutely free. They also compensate for time and travel. If he is in the Atlanta area let me know! If not try searching for Exubera/Pfizer clinical studies/trials on the internet.

Answer 7

His blood sugar is WAY out of control. Obviously, his medication is either not the right type or not strong enough.
