High Sugar.
Hello, I just took my blood sugar and its 564. It was lower earlier in the day, and I am taking metformin (started yesterday) Should I just wait and see how things go or should I get to the hospital?

Hi. You should have rechecked your sugar levels immediately. With the type of readings you have i would advise you to immediately go to a hospital. Please treat this as emergency.

be proactive atleast more careful
recheck your bs.
if it is more than 200 itself (normal not more than 40)
you need a consult
unless you are ready to spend your time & money for
correcting a bad heart,
a failing kidney
progressive blindness
frequent infections
and a visit by all your relatives to bother u more
or you yourself may meet the creater
