Can someone tell me how high your blood sugar should get before you become alarmed or call the doctor? I have not been diagnosed but a few months and my doctor has not told me much of nothing. My sugar keeps going up and down, my doctor won't put me on medicine(the highest its been is 400+, the lowest 60) Thanks for your help!!!
Hi Michael:
Any type of illness will cause your blood sugar to go out of control. So the fact that you have a "bad cold" is probably the cause. That being said, a high blood sugar should be a cause for concern especially if the cold is causing you to not be able to eat or drink fluids. If you get dehydrated, it will cause your blood sugar to go up even higher.
So make sure that you're having plenty of fluids and do NOT skip meals when your blood sugar is high.
Have you ever gotten your blood sugar tested? What you describe there could be Low blood sugar, Low hematocrit or hemoglobin which means low oxygen, but I guess a fall in blood pressure can make you dizzy and faint! Less pressure means less glucose and oxygen to brain so the brain will get your head a ground level so that it can get the needed glucose and oxygen which is why people faint...........High blood pressure will most likely cause a headache, but then again anything is possible.

His blood sugar level turned out to be at 400. He got defensive and said that it had nothing to do with his high blood sugar level and that I was the problem. He will say some things that are way out of line and will repeat himself to the point were I have to defend myself. He has been dishonest, verbal abusive over very minor issues, won't stop making rude comments, loves to provoke me and threatens divorce when I stick up for myself and the list goes on.
Hello,
with his blood sugar as high as 400 his body is unable to use what he eats. He doesn't need janumet, he needs insulin.
There is no way he should lose more weight and for his doctor to tell him to lose more weight means he is not looking at him. He should be eating a low carb diet (no mountain dew or junk food) and he needs insulin.
Sorry to be harsh, but your husband may well die soon (in weeks to months) if he can't get his blood sugars under control.
Hello,
fasting blood sugar in the range of 120 - 130 puts you firmly in diabetic territory, as does your hba1c of 7.4 which corresponds to an average blood sugar level of about 180. These levels would already require medications.
Consider that normal fasting should be below 90 and normal hba1c is < 5.0.
Given your height and weight, you are not overweight. Further you have no family history of diabetes. Therefore, I believe you should be evaluated for adult onset type 1 diabetes.
He was admitted with a blood sugar level of over 2500. After 3 days in intensive care, his CK level rose to 78,000. He tested negative for the diabetes antibody. Two days ago, after 10 days in intensive care he was moved to the regular pediatric floor however his ketones are still at 2000 and the doctors are puzzled why they keep going down then up for no apparent reason. His blood sugar levels vary (400 down to 150) based on what he eats and how much insulin he is given.
