I ate lunch at 1 pm. It’s now 5 pm and my blood glucose is 363. At what point should I go to urgent care or something?

You should go to the ER. You have diabetes. |
That's bad; |
Now is a good time. Don't freak out but go now.
|
Do you feel awful? |
I feel fine. A little hungry for dinner and a little tired. |
Imagine what it was right after you ate? You are doing serious damage to your body. You need to see a Dr. asap |
Dinner on 363 w/o insulin? |
Is there a reason you're monitoring your blood sugar? Im guessing you aren't a diabetic if you're asking what to do. Are you on any steroid medication? |
Not urgent care - that’s a number that requires insulin ASAP
Are you having other symptoms? Peeing frequently, thirsty, recent weight loss? Any shortness of breath or abdominal discomfort. The longer your blood sugar is elevated, the higher your risk of going into DKA, so it does need to be dealt with fairly urgently |
Dude, you are living dangerously.
- diabetic |
Er now |
