Brief Answer:
Hello. You need to get this treated right away

Detailed Answer:
Hello. You didn't mention whether you're taking any diabetic medications, but, even if you are, treating this yourself with increasing those medications can be dangerous.

You need to get in contact with your doctor right away or get to an Emergency room for blood work and insulin administration to lower your sugars.

Please let me know if you need any more information.
