If you are a diabetic, then you should know this already. I was a diabetic for 27 years (my kidneys failed and I had a kidney/pancreas transplant 10 years ago) and I know the long term affects of an out of control blood sugar. Don't they have you on a short term acting insulin that you can take to bring your blood sugar down? That would be what I would try first and if you're still having problems, get to the emergency room. You don't need to go into a coma!

If it was a family member of mine, if it went over 400 i probably would go to a emergency room. *not intended to diagnose or treat*

Blood glucoses can be VERY high...esp if you are unable to take insulin...like when you're really sick. Good managemnt is essential and a 24 hour Nurse to follow you is essential too.

If you are Type 2, yes, you should go to the emergency room. You probably need to be put on insulin as well as the pills you are taking. You can take extra insulin.
