My husband has type 2 diabetes and had levels that high for a while. His doctor rang him when he saw the results and asked my husband to come to the doctor's immediately. With medication his levesl are now under control.
Here are the main symptoms to look for:
Feeling thirsty.
Having to urinate more than usual.
Feeling more hungry than usual.
Losing weight without trying to.
Feeling very tired.
Here are the more serious ones:
lots of infections and cuts and bruises that heal slowly;
blurred vision;
tingling or numbness in your hands or feet;
lots of skin, gum, or bladder infections.

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.

I agree with previous comments - 500 is far too high. It's time to talk to the doctor or go to the hospital. IMMEDIATELY.
Just wondering if perhaps she's a misdiagnosed type 1, as it's unusual for a type 2 to get THAT high without some serious warning over a LONG time!
Has she re-tested, after washing her hands? Many a scary high number has been caused by having something sugary on the fingers!

when i was diagnosed with diabetes my blood sugar was in the 500 range, you can bring this down almost overnite thu diet and medication, they need immediate medical attention, and then do what the rest of us diabetics do, read labels and watch our sugar and carbohydrate intake, they can buy diabetic medications at walmart or sam's club for $4 a month with a perception, no insurance require. go to walmart.com for a list and details

Cause for concern!! A normal glucose level is 70-120 for an adult. Having a blood sugar that high is very unhealthy! She needs to talk to her doctor if her blood sugars are still that high...she is risking her vision, her kidneys, her heart....everything if she continues to let them be that high. Most people would be hospitalized at that point and put on IV insulin...

Blood sugar level should run between 75 - 100. Do like the first one to comment, get her some insulin or call an ambulance now. Each moment spent with BS that high is risking her sight and internal organ damage.

Hi friend
This is a high blood sugar level. Just check with ur friend regarding the test like when he/she has taken the test?, Is a chemist/doctor who has taken the test?, What has he taken before the test?,When did he ate last before the test?.
These all depends on the value.
