My husband, who has type 2 diabetes treated with pills, was injured and required stitches, and ever since then, his blood sugars have been considerably higher, even though he’s currently taking twice as much medication as before the accident.

My wife, who is on glyburide, has only gotten high a couple of times, I gave her a couple units of insulin, and it came right down. The problem is that lately she gets weak and cold and begins to shake. Her her blood sugar is just a little low, but it drops quickly in a hour or two. What should we do? Does she need to see a specialist?
