dear sir I can understand your concern
I am very sorry about your friend condition
sugars being high inspite of taking insulin might be due to lack of diet control and lack of exersise
I suggest you to see your doc for readjustment of insulin dose
usually insulin will increase the weight but with good diet and exersise it can be kept in control
I suggest you to check your renal function
test.
kindly get back to us for further clarification
