My blood sugar level is 569. It's going to take many hours to bring this down at home. Think the hospital might be able to bring it down quicker? Thanks in advance!

I did go to the hospital and they kept me there for a few hours. They pretty much did the same thing I would've done at home but it did seem to come down quicker than if I'd done it myself. They put me on an IV drip so that might've helped too. Thanks everybody!

It is hospital time. The long term damage to your body from staying this high are not worth it. I know the hospital is inconvenient and expensive but you are sooo worth it. You should have someone drive you to make sure you get there OK - you could get worse en-route - and it would be nice to have someone along for support to make faces at and joke with and just help pass the time. I hope you've already left and not sittin there reading this!

I know of someone that have diabetes and had an open wound almost 1 feet in size on the leg. Fully recovered on the wound and the sugar level back to normal after taking a product call Colostrum for about 3 months. That is not a medicine for diabetes but the good news is, doctor certify cure!

Please go now.... if your a diabetic, you should have ketone sticks that you should check as well. This will help tell you how serious this is. If it just went up and has not been up for awhile, you might be ok by just going to the hospital and getting a quick dose of insulin. Mine was 600 when I found out I was a diabetic and they told me if I waited much longer, I would've went into a coma.... GO NOW

You should KNOW BETTER than to let yourself go. It's obvious that Diabetes is controlling you rather than the other way around. On my worst days I would not let myself get that high. And I've been diabetic for 12-13 years! That's bad, really bad. You need help managing your diabetes.

You definitely need to go to the ER.
That is a very high blood sugar and it should be brought down in a controlled manner. It should not be brought down to quickly.
Have you called your doctor??

I think your immediate point of call Laura is to arrange an appointment with your G.P to discuss this in more detail. Without your notes or any additional info it's hard to give tangible advice on this matter.

In order to keep your blood sugar level under control at home, read the following paragraph to update your knowledge about diabetes:
You need not to panic to visit a doctor. There are no Allopathic medicines available in the market that will cure the diabetic conditions of humans but they will control the disorder up to certain levels. The disease is developed due to eating disorders and hereditary. In the first place, I have never accepted diabetes as disease but considered it to be a disorder. The medicine is readily available at home in the form of natural products and you need not to go to market to purchase expensive medicines. To keep the sugar level under control, follow my suggestions and see the difference. Drink the juice of one bitter gourd, one cucumber and one tomato on empty stomach in the morning on a regular basis (drink this juice twice a day if you are insulin dependent) until you start feeling relief and your blood sugar level starts decreasing and continue further for a very long time until your sugar level reaches border line. The sugar level will certainly come down. Eat plenty of cucumber before meal to quench your thrust and to fill your empty stomach. Cucumbers are considered and proved to be very good for diabetic patients. Diabetic patients are always hungry to eat but can not eat all. Avoid banana, mango, custard apple and sweets like ice cream, pastry and cold drinks totally. If you are insulin dependent, even eating rice would be very harmful. You can eat fruits like guava, pineapple, pomegranate, papaya, muskmelon and watermelon. Taking one tea-spoon Fenugreek powder and quarter tea-spoon cinnamon powder on empty stomach, before breakfast daily, would be beneficial to diabetic patients. Regular brisk walking for one hour daily would be the best ideal medicine for diabetic patients. Cut down on non-vegetarian, fast, spicy and oily food, aerated cold drinks and foods rich in calories. Correct constipation. Avoid alcohol and tobacco also. Tea and coffee are also bad for health because they promote calcium excretion from the body and calcium loss from bones. Drink plenty of water daily. Take one tablet of Diabecon (By Himalaya an Herbal Health Care Company in India) twice a day as a maintenance dose. Take care and be in good health.

You really don't want to bring down your blood sugar too fast, it can do more harm then good. That # is really high and you probably should go to the doc or hosp.
