Answer 1

Call 911. Then, call your physician for orders. Do you have Hum R insulin on hand? Do you have a sliding scale for how much to take?

Answer 3

Here's a little different take on the subject of diabetes--

There are many things you can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.

Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:

Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. Everything on the above list has a use in fighting diabetes. If you are serious about learning how to use these herbs and not falling victim to diabetes needlessly, I suggest getting a copy of--

"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313

The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which was first availale in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

First thing, do not panic (it will only elevate more your levels). If you are not feeling bad, there is no need for the ER.

Make a correction with your insulin injections/pills (if you don´t remember call your doctor for the right amount). I am a diabetic type I and if I´m over 300 I have to inject +3 units of Humalog or NOVORapid.

DO NOT exercise, drink water and avoid carbohydrates. Check if this was an isolated event (an urine test will show ketones if not) or else, adjust your insulin dosage with your doctor

Answer 5

Go straight to the Emergency Room. With a blood sugar that high you could go into what they call Diabetic Ketoacidosis, very dangerous!!! Once this is all taken care of, you and your doctor need to sit down and have a talk. You should always know what to do when your blood sugar is elevated. Apparently your diet is all wrong. You need some major guidance in diabetes. VERY dangerous. You are prone to infections that won't heal, you could lose extremities. I understand that is very hard to deal with diabetes, but you have it, so you need to control it. Get to the ER immediately.

Answer 6

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

Answer 7

You need to go to the ER. It could be up be because of a stroke. When it gets high drink water to flush out the sugars. But this is too high. GO NOW to ER. Don't drive. Get someone to drive yo uor call 911.

Answer 8

AT 660 you should CALL YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU SHOULD DO! That's far too high, and the ER is another avenue!

Answer 9

Call your doctor's office as soon as possible. If you have this for 24 hours go to the emergency room.

Answer 10

call the doctor, go to the hospital. You don't "forget" that part. It's like a person with a 104 feaver asking what to do?
