what happends when my dad has 380 on his blood sugar?

Answer 1

He would be dead. That is way to far out of range to even be a reading, in fact I don't believe any of the monitors would go that high.

Answer 3

If your father has blood sugar that high it could cause serious problems. I don't know how your father is so I cant really predict what will happen.I know from my experience that it depends on the person weather serious things will happen. My father is also diabetic and there have been times when his sugar is at 900 and he should have been dead at 380 but he was in a diabetic coma. I have also known people to go into diabetic coma at 290 or 300 but every person is different.I would suggest you and your father talk about it and also talk to your doctor to find a way to keep his sugars in control

Answer 4

I have type 1 diabetes and was diagnosed with it about 2 years ago when I passed out driving. I was in intensive care for a week due to diabetic keto acidosis which is a result of your blood becoming acidic from burning fats due to extended periods of high glucose levels. I was a 380 when admitted. It's not uncommon to have this happen after heavy sugars and carbs are consumed but it's also caused by poor medication management. You want to immediately take a proper dose of insulin or glucose lowering medication to mitigate glucose spikes. Do not ignore this!

Answer 5

if your dad is a diabetic then he should know how much insulin to take. Don't panic this happens. I am a type 1 and a high like that is common , It happens to me once and a great while. About once a year I'll hit a 300 mark for no reason. I know how much novolog I need to cover that.
If he is not a diabetic and you are asking because his lab work shows that, then he is a diabetic and his doctor will help him. When I was diagnosed a few years ago mine was in the 600's.
Just don't panic and don't let what others say worry you. You wouldn't want your dad to be in the 300's every day but once in a great while is common.

Answer 6

Let's put it this way -- when my wife's blood sugar was not quite that high last year (about 280), she had a stroke because the blood was too thick to go through the small blood vessels in her brain.

Typical blood sugar ratings should be between 90 and 140, depending on variables like how much you've had to eat and things like that.

Your dad needs medical attention right now, and needs to start talking with his doctor about getting on regular treatment for diabetes. There are very effective oral medications now to manage blood sugar, but blood sugar levels that high can lead to serious, life-threatening consequences.

Answer 7

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 9

High blood sugar causes some immediate symptoms which you may have noticed, very thirsty and tired, have blurry vision, and have to go to the bathroom often, your blood glucose may be too high. Very high blood glucose may also make you feel sick to your stomach. But there are long term effects of having blood sugar high for long periods of time. Over time it can ruin your kidneys and cause blindness, it also ruins your circulation causing numbness known as neuropathy. Diabetes is a mean disease and it should be taken serious.

Answer 10

A blood sugar level of 380 is too high. He must do a better job of controlling his diabetes or he will probably be dead or hospitalized within the next year.

Answer 11

This is EXTREMELY high. The normal range is 90-120 so 380 it wayyyyyyyyy to high. It can cause many serious health issues in the long run. It also depends for how long this has been going on. It can cause him to go blind in the long run. Definitely need to see a doctor and get it under control. Encourage him to change his diet. Definitely want to cut on the carbs and sweets. Get him to see a doctor ASAP. If i were you i would drag him there.
