When to call the doctor with high blood sugar?
Just hanging around asked:
Hi, I am 27 type 1 diabetic for almost 10 yrs. I have not had a problem with high blood sugar levels for 8 yrs or so. I think I am having that probelm today. Woke up this morning had a reading of 315 took my morning dose hasnt gone down. I am tired, slight headache, dry mouth shortness of breath and seem to be having a hard time catching my breath. I have been ill with a bad chest cold. I am at work and cant get to the pharmacy till later to get some strips to check for ketones but it has me worried. Was wandering when should emergancy care be needed for high blood sugar? Should I call the doc now or see if things improve later in the day?

You should definitely call your doctor. You are symptomatic- high blood sugar, tired, headache, and short of breath. These symptoms should not be ignored. Though emergent care may not be needed now, you should be seen by physician soon before it is. Don’t wait. Go home sick from work and see your doc!

You can call your doc at any time, and you should b/c they will be able to talk you through the steps you need to take. Remember to drink lots of water, that will keep the ketones away. Take insulin for the highs.

The minute it goes over 280 the emergency care should be called for although saying that you could have fatal reaction and most likely he will be called for help yuo should be able to when the emergency care should def call.
For them at alldo your gp and not be the advisor as to call your neighbours know of your neighbours know of it worsening.
For although saying that is dangerous enough and you or make sure are all symptoms of being cliched better safe than sorry.

If you’ve been sick, you’re suppose to use your sick day management plan.
315 is very, very high. Try and lower it with your insulin. You do have your glucose/insulin ratio? If you can’t get it lowered, you might have to go to the hospital.
Call your doctor.

Normally you should be able to treat a hi sugar yourself but combine with these other symptoms, It’s a good idea to call.
You should also update your info on sick day protocols.
Good luck and feel better.

For concern and worry you eat anything you need medical attention call 911 emergency help anytime that the morning dosage did you eat anything you took the medication and worry you should have had lower reading after taking the medication and eating if it is cause for concern.
For concern and eating if it is cause for concern and worry you took the blood level gets over 150 it had not gone down within an hour or two.
