Dear user, blood sugar of 500 mg/dl is very high , specially for her age. you must not allow her to travel in such condition. still if urgent, start metformin 500 mg twice a day, glimeperide 2 mg twice a day. ask her to have lots and lots of fluids. water, milk, butter milk, soups, coconut water. see your doctor at the earliest. regards!
