You could suffer a diabetic coma and it's possible that it could lead to death. If you have a glucose reading of 350 on a regular basis, then you need to alter your diet and see your doctor. You may need insulin. Untreated, diabetes can cause blindness, loss of limb(s) and death just to name a few.

This signals a major problem. Blood sugars that high over time can ruin your kidneys, leave you blind, and totally kill any sensitivity you have in your feet. Before any of that happens, if you aren't treated, you will likely go into a coma. If you have not been diagnosed diabetic, then you definitely need to see someone ASAP. If you have been diagnosed as diabetic and you are taking medication, it probably needs to be adjusted. There is no reason your blood sugar ever needs to be that high, and if it is happening that often, something definitely needs to be changed. I have only had one reading over 300 since I found out I was diabetic and had to go on insulin.
By the way, if you don't know, the best time to test your blood sugar is two hours after you begin a meal. It should be at it's highest at that time.

Your fiance needs to get to an endocrinologist if he doesn't already see one and get that blood sugar under control. My mother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 1936, she was 10 years old. The diet then was much stricter than it is today. She is still alive (age 84) and lives in her own home. She was told she wouldn't live past the age of 30. Growing up with her, she watched her food intake closely and almost never had blood sugars over 200, in fact her problem is that she has such tight control that she has low blood sugars often. It is not the diabetes, but these high blood sugars that are doing the damage to your fiance. His blood sugars should be 100-120 before meals and then back to close to normal (120-150) with in two hours of eating. He should not be having blood sugars of 350 to 500. If he keeps this up he will die, but probably not until he is blind, or has a foot amputated.

At 350, is not a good sign. Above 350, you're asking for problems. In reality, there is no reason for your blood sugar to reach a level that high. You need either an adjustment in insulin or medicine (depending on whether you're type 1 or 2). Keeping your sugar at that level is only creating future problems for your body.

If you've just eaten, for a diabetic that's normal. People without diabetes have normal numbers anytime they test (I've done that with my Mom). If you're over 350 and you haven't eaten recently you're hyperglycemic and need to take insulin with your next meal, knock off some of the carbs, or do some exercise. When I was diagnosed my sugars were in the 700s and (obviously) I didn't die because it was immediately put under control. So if it's a little over don't freak out.

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.

depends on when they are that high. If you have recently eaten a meal loaded with simple carbs or sugars, then you can expect high sugars. If you have sugars that high when you haven't eaten in eight hours, then you are diabetic and need to see a doctor, untreated diabetes can kill you.

Oh just a diabetic coma, possibly death. If you are on insulin and took it recently and its still that high, it can signal a problem.
You really need to go to an ER or call your dr to find out more info.
