The same diabetes medications available in Canada are available in Pakistan. He needs to work with his doctor to change his insulin dosage, he may need to use a mixture of short and long acting, he also may need to change his diet, etc. This isn’t an emergency medical situation. There is a huge amount of diabetes in Pakistan and most doctors and/or pharmacists can help him get better control over his diabetes. Medications to treat diabetes are readily available. The exact same thing will happen in Canada. He needs to have a food diary to write down what he eats, a record of his sugars using a glucometer before and after his meals and a record of the insulin he takes or other medication like metformin. After a week or more a doctor will be able to make some adjustments and the whole process will start again until his medications have been adjusted to keep his sugars at the right level.
