Dear Sir,
The impression i get by reading your mom's history is that she may be going in for frequent low sugars. If a diabetic patient has frequent low sugars the next sugar we check tends to be high because of the food we have given plus the compensation by liver. So i feel instead of adding more stronger tablets you need to do a 7 point blood sugar charting and adjust your mom's dose accordingly.
