Hello Docotor, My Mother is having blood sugar level of 350 now and a week back it was 310. Currenly she is taking medicine as prescribed... None of our family members/grand parents had suffered from diabetes before. It is for the first time she is suffering now and there are symptoms like weight lost, hungry and thirst since couple of months.. 1. Please suggest me whether having sugar levels of around 350 is too dangerous...? and will there be chances of getting heart problems..? 2.Our doctor prescribed only tablets.. is there nessecity of taking insulin? 3. Please share me about what kind of food/diet she can take.?
