Diabetic Testing

I AMA type 2 diabetes, when I tested my blood sugar is 488? WHAT SHOULD I DO? Check ketones carbs.fruit drink plenty water.not can verify that the device does not need batteries, but is a true reading should call your doctor immediately. 488 what? (Units, that is) the number is large and although I am tempted to believe that a glucose meter (if used) is incorrect. But my advice is to go to the nearest hospital, along with a glucose meter. This means you need some insulin, and fast. If you do not have an endocrinologist I would suggest one of them. Good luck and keep an eye on him. That means you need to take some quick acting insulin immediately and definitely see if you test positive for ketones ketoacidosis.and, one arrives at the emergency room. If it is an accurate reading, you should call your doctor or go to the emergency room. This is a very high level of glucose can damage many organ systems. You should not be such a high reading if you are properly managed with medication and diet success and caring. Drink plenty of water. Wal kabout 20 minutes around the house or anything else. Look for a pattern. Sometimes people with diabetes will experience a high blood sugar, including their medication should be adjusted .
