Asking for Father, Male, 76 years old, Islamabad

My father is 76 years old, diabetic but his sugar levels stay under control. Recently he has started losing muscle and getting weaker, though he’s active (runs his shop daily) and drinks plenty of water. He refuses to get any medical tests done. What vitamins or dietary changes can help him regain muscle strength and energy naturally?

Multivitamin or Vit B12 can be given. Better to give Tab. Geriatric Pharmaton

Let him checked by a good clinician. He may have diabetes related muscle weakness or something serious. If he’s afraid of hospitals then get CBC, ESR, LFTs, Vit D and RFTs checked.
