Your mothers blood sugar of 320 suggests that she is having severe diabetes, and it has to be control by diabetic diet, exercises and tablets for diabetes. If the sugar is not controlled after two months, she may need insulin injection. With proper control of a diabetes her back pain and knee pain may become alright. In addition, she should undergo eye check up to see whether the retina is affected by diabetes. Further, she should be tested for lipid profile, blood urea, serum creatinine and urine for microalbuminurea and should be treated if there are abnormalities. With proper control of diabetes, she can very well have normal life and so there is no need for worry.
