Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Without knowing the exact value of platelets it is very difficult to evaluate any diagnosis.
As I have seen so many cases where platelets falls below 8000 and there were no any complaint.
This type of cases known as thrombocytopenia and cause may be else.
2nd point is diet of diabetes , so mention about the type of diabetes , H B A 1 C value , condition of pancreas .
As you mentioned that his blood sugar level is 200 mg /dl after food , 140 mg/ dL before food .
This sugar level is not so high, so in my opinion only diet plan can cure this patient.
Verology test prove whether patient have dengue or not.
Consult a physician and get his opinion and treatment .
Good luck.
Dr. HET
