how high can blood sugar levels get with diabetes?

Answer 1

I'm a lab tech and I've seen glucose levels over a thousand. I think most patients would be unconscious at this level but some people who develop diabetic ketoacidosis frequently can remain coherent with such an elevated blood glucose.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

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

Answer 5

When I first became ill from diabetes (before being diagnosed as Type 2) I presented to an urgent care clinic with a blood sugar of 690. The examining doctor was surprised that I walked in under my own power. Although I control my condition with oral medications and diet, my doctor has advised me to use insulin if my blood glucose reading goes above 300. I've only had to use the injector twice since being diagnosed eighteen months ago.

Answer 7

Most glucose meters will go up to 600, like mine does. If your numbers are higher than that, it just says HIGH.

When I was first diagnosed with Diabetes Type 1 in 2001, my levels were above 800. I could have easily gone into a coma and died. Normally, if your numbers are even half that amount, they put you in the hospital.

My doctor knew I hated hospitals intensely, so he bent the rules, with my full awareness of the risks, & let me stay at home. Of course, I was started immediately on a course of insulin.

My doctor called me at home every morning & every evening, and I would tell him what my numbers were and how I felt. He even called me on Christmas Day and New Year's Eve; that's how dedicated he is. We had also agreed that if my numbers didn't start going down within a week, I would go into the hospital.

It took a few weeks, but finally I was down to a safe level. I have never allowed myself to even go over 200, except for 3 times.

I knew of one person whose numbers went up to 1,200 — but not for long — he died about 2 days later.

Hope this is helpful.

Answer 8

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/PIMT6
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.

Answer 10

I live in LTC and a couple of weeks ago had a 674 but the nurses did nothing but my Diabetic specialist will take a fit I'm sure. I am probably looking at insulin. I've been on metformin 1500 mg a day.
