Hi, Yes my grandma had diabetes and Alzheimers. She needed to have her medicine reduced because she didn't eat regular meals anymore and small amounts when she did. We noticed that her sugar was actually lower most of the time then it was before. She took one Actos and one glyburide a day. The home health nurse would check it in the mornings. And interestingly enough, she used to love bananas and eat them alone........raising her sugar but when she got bad dementia she hated bananas. Hope that helps.
