How do you lower your blood sugar when its-- 507 high.?

Answer 1

Are you a young person with type 1DM or an older person with type2? Type 2 DM can usually be controlled fairly well with a ketogenic eating plan. You just have to stop eating carbs and cut them down to a really low amount. In order to get your diet under control eat fat. Butter, cream, olives, olive oil, avocados eggs fried in butter, etc. But don't eat sugar. Fat is not transfered into blood glucose in your body. It will fill you up and yet keep your sugar low. You will drop your cholesterol and you blood sugar if you increase your fat intake and protien intake.

If you are a type 1 DM patient with "juvenile" DM you will simply have to get your insulin increased from your doctor. This is an auto immune disease, and healthy eating cannot solve it.

507 does not mean death!
My daughter was 537 last night and she is fine today, at work now.

It turned out that she left her Novalog pen in the car yesterday - probably got too hot and went bad. Her blood sugar was high before dinner, but not too high. Then at midnight it was 537. When she opened a new insulin cartridge last night, her blood came right down to normal.

If it is persistently high you do need to call your doctor on an emergency basis. But if you are on insulin, you might try opening a new bottle.

Answer 5

Get your butt to an ER NOW. This is serious. I don't know what happened to cause your sugar to spike like that but you need emergency treatment. This is not something you can treat on your own. You will need IV rehydration and probably IV insulin. Either have someone drive you or call an ambulance. DO NOT drive yourself. Go now.

As for the people who said you should be dead...that's not neccesarily true. I've seen people a lot higher than that (highest I've ever seen was 1200). It IS a very serious situation though and you need to be treated. You are at serious risk for DKA which can be fatal. Do not wait.

Answer 6

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/vhPA3
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 7

It is not true that you should be dead with a blood glucose of 500 or even 600... However, you need to get it down because it is doing damage to you while it is high. Are you on insulin? Fast-acting insulin would take care of it.

Answer 8

by continuos insulin infusion...of course this should be done in a hospital.. If youre blood sugar is this high, you consult your doctor immediately as this may be a sign of a HYPERGLYCEMIC EMERGENCY..Blood sugar this high may signify presence of diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state which should be aggressively managed ASAP!

Answer 9

Excuse me! I had a blood sugar over 600, yes I went to the hospital and was admitted but the only symptom I had was feeling shaky. Yes, go to the er. They will probably give you insulin to bring it down but if you aint dead yet, then you ain't gonna die.

Answer 10

OKay, my endocrinologist told me this formula that he siad doctors use all around the country. I don't know if you've heard of it before. what you do is subtract 125 from the number. You should have a number of 382. Now, you divide that number by 25. You should have 15.28. Round down to 15. !5 units is the amount of insulin you should take. It should bring you down around to 125mg/dL.
