Hi,

High blood glucose levels can have serious health consequences, and it is important to work with a healthcare professional to manage diabetes. Here are some things your ex-husband can consider:
* Adjust medications: It may be necessary to adjust the dosage or type of medication he is taking to better manage his blood glucose levels. consult your doctor for this.
* Monitor carbohydrate intake: Carbohydrates can raise blood glucose levels, so it is important to monitor carbohydrate intake and make sure it is consistent with his medication and activity levels.
* Increase physical activity: Exercise can help lower blood glucose levels by improving insulin sensitivity. Your ex-husband should work with a healthcare provider to develop a safe exercise plan.
* Check for underlying health conditions: Certain health conditions, such as infections, can raise blood glucose levels. If your ex-husband is experiencing other symptoms, it may be necessary to investigate whether there is an underlying health condition contributing to his high blood glucose levels.
* Consider dietary supplements: Some dietary supplements, such as chromium and magnesium, have been shown to help lower blood glucose levels. However, it is important to discuss the use of dietary supplements with a healthcare provider.

Your ex-husband needs to work closely with a healthcare provider to manage his diabetes and blood glucose levels.
