Sugar level 65
Sir/ma'am
My father is diabetic and has sugar level of 65 before dinner just now. He also took his sugar medicine by his own , for precaution I have given him dinner along with one regular toast and warm milk with 1.5 tablespoon sugar in it. Is it ok? What else I can do so that situation doesn't go bad?

Need to check his medicines, after dinner the sugar level will increase so adding more sugar wil have any help. Instead monitor his sugar fasting and after lunch 2 hrs and at evening time if possible.
