Brief Answer:
Dietary control will help

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I consider dietary control plays more important role than medication in bringing down the blood sugars. It would be fine if her diet style is modified such that the sugars are in the control then, there would be no need for medication and if that happens it can be cured or postponed with diet alone.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
